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. See less
