Standing at 200cm, the work carries the composed authority of classical Greco-Roman statuary: the man's anatomy rendered with anatomical precision, the horse alive with detailed mane, fitted bridle, and one foreleg raised in measured movement. A uniform verdigris green patina settles across both figures, the surface deepening to brown-bronze in the recessed musculature and mane, the natural result of oxidation applied by hand and allowed to mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a companion sculpture designed to pair with our Life-Size Classical Nude Male Figure and Horse Bronze Sculpture - 170cm, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCast Bronze, Lost-Wax Process\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach figure is produced through the traditional lost-wax casting method, in which a hand-sculpted wax model is encased in ceramic shell, burned out, and replaced with molten bronze poured at over 1,000 degrees Celsius. The result is a dense, structurally sound casting that carries every detail of the original sculpture. At 450kg across the group, the weight of the bronze is itself a measure of quality. Hand-chasing after casting sharpens the surface detail before the patina is applied and sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 200cm and 450kg, this sculpture is specified for permanent outdoor installation. A professional structural engineer should be consulted to confirm base preparation, anchoring, and ground-bearing capacity prior to placement. The verdigris finish performs naturally in British weather and requires no routine treatment beyond an occasional wax or lacquer application to preserve the patina character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade to Order, Fully Customisable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patina on this piece can be specified to your preference: natural verdigris, dark brown, black, or a polished warm bronze tone.
