This unique signed Bronze by the renowned British artist David Cornell is an elegant study of a thoroughbred foal. We have been in contact with David who has kindly confirmed by email the title, and that this is a 'one off' piece. Unfortunately at the time of contact David was not able to check his catalogue to confirm when he created this piece, so we have estimated it dates from the 1980s by comparing it with David's other equestrian sculptures.
It displays beautifully on its original marble plinth which does have some very minor 'flea-bite' chips to the edges (see close up images for all).
