Figure - Caballo Árabe de Cetrería - Bronze, Marble

This mid-20th-century figure elegantly depicts an Arabian horse ridden by a rider—or a lady rider—dedicated to falconry, an ancient practice associated with prestige, skill, and nobility. The piece is made of bronze, a material that allows capturing with precision both the taut musculature of the horse and the firm, balanced posture of the person riding it. The finish features a warm, uniform patina, typical of high-quality sculptures of the era.

The horse, with stylized lines and an proud bearing, reflects the typical characteristics of an Arabian horse: an arched neck, a fine head, and a sense of restrained movement, as if it were about to advance. The rider holds the bird of prey with ease, a gesture that evokes the tradition of falconry as an art and a symbol of status. The figure conveys serenity and mastery, reinforcing the narrative of a scene held in suspense at an instant of perfect balance.

The sculpture rests on a polished marble base, of substantial weight, which provides stability and an elegant contrast between the coldness of stone and the warmth of bronze. This type of combination was common in decorative pieces from the mid-20th century, especially in works intended for refined interiors or private collections.

Overall, it is a piece that blends craftsmanship, equestrian tradition, and a nod to the history of falconry, with a decorative presence that remains as appealing today as it was when it was created.
