This example depicts a powerful horse with a lowered head and segmented “armored” body, a hallmark of Vanderveen’s mature style.

Cast in solid bronze with a rich, dark patina showing subtle golden undertones, the surface reveals natural variation and depth consistent with quality bronze casting. The form is both minimalist and expressive, balancing strength with restraint.

This piece is numbered 2 of a limited edition of 750, engraved on the body, and is a strong example of Vanderveen’s collectible animal sculptures, which are widely held in private collections and public spaces.

An excellent statement object for a desk, console, or bookshelf—equally suited to modern, mid-century, or eclectic interiors.
