This sculpture derives from the models of Francesco Fanelli, the Florentine artist who worked in Genoa and later in London, where his works were appreciated by Charles I. He most probably died in Paris.
Fine casting with transparent patina, the horse body is well worked and polished. The snout and mane nervous are well modeled.
The bronze base was probably added later, together with the green marble pedestal. It has a similar patina overall.
