Description
This plaster plaque, rendered in the Grand Tour style, depicts a muscular classical horseman atop a spirited steed. The relief features dynamic composition and classical anatomical details. The plaque likely dates to the mid-20th century, inspired by ancient Greek or Roman reliefs, popular during the Grand Tour era for educational and decorative purposes. The back of the plaque bears a "Metropolitan Museum of Art" label, suggesting it was once retailed there as a museum reproduction.
