A very good matched pair of equestrian figures, one depicting Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, on his horse Copenhagen, the other depicting Napoleon Bonaparte crossing the Alps.
This wonderful, compact pair is beautifully coloured and full of movement. The horses are especially nicely rendered and the bases are rich and eye-catching.
The figures present very well. Copenhagen’s left leg has been professionally restored and there is a small nick to the corner of Napoleon’s cape.
