Executed by Emmanuel Frémiet—one of the foremost French sculptors of the late 19th century—the work exemplifies his mastery of equestrian subjects, anatomical precision, and historical narrative. Embossed signature on the base. Isabeau is shown in regal profile, her flowing garments and poised posture conveying both movement and nobility, while the horse’s raised foreleg adds a sense of controlled dynamism. The warm gilded surface enhances the sculptural detail and lends the piece a rich, luminous presence. Resting on an integral base, this antique bronze stands as a compelling example of academic realism and French historicism, appealing to collectors of 19th-century sculpture, equestrian art, and museum-quality decorative works. Dimensions: 18"h x 14"w x 4.5"d. In very good condition. See less
