About the Item

It is a small sculpture, made by Piero Augusto Donati in bronze between the 1980s and 1990s. Thirty castings were made, and this one in question is No. 5/30. This is a running horse that fully demonstrates the artist's ability to portray the dynamism of his subjects. In fact, Donati manages to capture the energy and elegance of movements, making each of his pieces realistic and very expressive. The choice of bronze, as a material for his sculptures, is recurring because it allows for durable surfaces capable of enhancing the details and nuances of movement that the artist intended to convey. The horse measures 33x21x7 cm with a total height of 27 cm. The sculpture is in a good state of preservation.
