About this work

This image shows a small, bronze sculpture of a horse lying on its side. The horse's head is raised, and its front legs are bent. The sculpture is placed on a flat surface, possibly a table or shelf. The sculpture appears to be a study or a model for a larger work. The level of detail and the texture of the bronze suggest that it was created by a skilled artist. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this sculpture, you might want to look up Sintenis, Renée.

The story of this work

Overview

A photograph is mounted on a green card as part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Kineton Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, gathered these images in the 1920s by sending questionnaires to sculptors, whose responses are now held in the Archive of Art and Design. This particular photograph is one of many submitted by sculptors to complete Kineton Parkes' survey.
