Louis Marie Moris (1818-1883)

Louis-Marie Moris Nobleman on a Horse bronze statue evokes the aristocratic equestrian representations of previous centuries in the spirit of 19th-century historicizing sculpture. The finely stepping horse and the tranquil, confident posture of the rider emphasize rank and self-control. The richly detailed saddle gear and attire appear as a consciously stylized historical reference. The overall composition is characterized by a measured, representative elegance.
