Pierre Le Faguays Art Deco Woman on Horseback Bronze Rare. A masterpiece of Pierre Le Faguays, an equestrienne on Horseback, a captivating creation that holds a timeless allure. The statue depicts a woman, poised with grace and elegance, astride, sidesaddled on a gallant jumping horse. Her form was a testament to the Art Deco movement – sleek lines, bold curves, and an air of sophistication that mesmerized all who looked at her. Her face was sculpted with delicate precision, exuding confidence and determination as the horse and rider leap over a streamlined river with stylized fish swimming below.

The quality and details of the piece are pretty dimensional and significant. Multiple patinas, shapes, and treatments show the care taken to complete the design. It is a rare sculpture; I’ve seen it only once – 20 years ago.
