Antar

0.0 x 0.0

18" high x 7" wide x 18" deep bronze sculpture "Antar" - Antar was a great stallion. He was wild, in a band of horses running through the mountains of Lebanon. Omar would see him from time to time near the boundaries of his father's ranch. He was fascinated by this unusually handsome horse. Gazing at the horse from afar Omar hoped in some way he could catch him, tame him and keep him. He knew this was wishful thinking, but he never forgot his "dream horse". I was contacted by Omar to do a bronze sculpture of Antar to memorialize him for all eternity. We spoke at great length about this horse, until I felt confidant enough to begin the portrait sculpture. Even though the horse was never captured, Omar wanted him done with an Arabic saddle and fittings. It took me over a year to finalize the piece, and much to my great joy, my client was delighted. It now holds a position of honor in his new American home, and gives him an opportunity to tell the story of this beautiful horse and his ranch to all his visitors.
