About the Item
A striking bronze sculpture of a horse, signed Takanoshi and dated 1933, showcasing a bold yet contemplative depiction of the animal’s form. The surface is richly textured, emphasizing the tactile qualities of hand-molded bronze and enhancing the sculpture’s natural presence.
The artist skillfully captures a moment of calm energy—ears alert, head lowered—as if the horse is caught in thought or rest. The style bears hallmarks of early 20th-century Japanese bronze work, where Western naturalism meets Japanese minimalism and expressive surface treatment.
The signature “TAKANOSN ’33” is cast into the bronze at the base, suggesting a work created either for domestic appreciation or international presentation in the pre-war period.
Mounted on its original wooden base, the piece carries both aesthetic elegance and historical character.
