Morgan Stallion

Alexander Phimister Proctor

ca. 1913 · Bronze · The American Wing

Proctor was an accomplished modeler of equine subjects, returning to the theme throughout his career in both monumental works and his finely wrought statuettes. In this statuette of a Morgan stallion, Proctor has portrayed an American horse bred for its strength and lightness. He created a naturalistic representation that emphasizes the striking silhouette characteristic of the breed.
