Russian Bronze Troika Sculpture – After Vasily Grachev
About the Item
A powerful and intricately detailed bronze sculpture depicting a Russian troika — a traditional three-horse sleigh — racing at full speed across a rugged terrain. The piece features two figures: a driver expertly gripping the reins and a passenger bracing in the rear. Cast after the celebrated 19th-century Russian sculptor Vasily Grachev, known for his vivid depictions of Russian life and military themes, this work captures the energy and intensity of movement with remarkable realism. The horses are sculpted mid-stride with expressive dynamism, pulling a wooden sled framed by snowy ground and a directional post. Mounted on a shaped dark marble base with a nameplate, this is a statement piece steeped in Russian heritage and craftsmanship.

Russian Silver Troika Sculpture, I. Sazikov after E. Lanceray, Moscow, ca. 1875
By Ignaty Sazikov
Located in New York, NY
This exquisite sculpture masterfully captures the essence of rural life, featuring an elderly peasant standing proudly, reins held firmly in his hands. Behind him, nestled in a beautifully crafted sleigh, are his son and grandson, with the latter energetically guiding the horses using a whip. Each figure is adorned in traditional peasant attire, which not only adds authenticity but also reflects their connection to the land and their heritage. Their faces are wonderfully expressive, conveying a sense of pride, determination, and the bond of family.
The craftsmanship of this outstanding silver sculpture, along with its original marble base, showcases an extraordinary level of artistry. The intricate details are so skillfully rendered that one can almost visualize the steam rising from the horses' nostrils in the crisp, frosty air. The air seems to vibrate with the sound of the horses’ hooves crunching through the fresh snow, creating a vivid auditory backdrop to the scene.
As the troika gallops at full speed, it leaves behind distinct impressions of horseshoes on the pristine snow, marking their journey through the wintry landscape. This dynamic movement not only brings the sculpture to life but also invites viewers to imagine the story behind this moment—an intimate glimpse into the daily life and enduring spirit of a hardworking family united by tradition and the rhythms of nature.
Notes:
There are intact little bell on the yoke of a central horse, and an original detachable hallmarked whip. The original, intricately executed marble base is an integral part of the whole composition. The sculpture was never cleaned or polished, and has an original patina.
