About the Item

Guillaume Coustou is best known for his two pieces of marble sculpture, each called Horse restrained by a Groom (1739-45, Louvre Museum, Paris), known jointly as the Marly Horses. Originally created for the royal chateau at Marly, then relocated to the Place de la Concorde before settling finally at the Louvre, these powerful statues exude equestrian elegance and power. They are among the most enduring images of energetic Baroque art of the early eighteenth century.
