In the early 1860’s, Edgar Degas (1834-1917) created one of his earliest horse sculptures, in brown wax with reddish highlights (which created a flesh texture). Later in 1920, a bronze cast was made and the Metropolitan Museum has the Degas Horse at Trough in its collection. The original wax model has an armature from ground through horse. The artist’s tool marks etched into the original wax are still evident on the horse, especially on its mane. Since the later versions are made from a stronger material - bronze or bonded bronze, no armature is needed. This sculpture is made from bonded bronze, bonded bronze base, 6.5"H x 8.5"L.
