A beautifully crafted Etruscan horse sculpture, handmade in patinated bronze.
This bronze sculpture is a minimalist and abstract representation of a figure riding a two-wheeled chariot pulled by a stylized horse. The rider has an elongated, simplified human form with minimal facial features. One arm is raised, holding what appears to be a small object, while the other arm extends forward to hold the reins. The figure wears a headpiece or helmet, giving it an ancient or warrior-like appearance.
The horse is depicted in a highly stylized and geometric form. Its head is elongated and curves downward, and it has a pronounced, comb-like mane extending over the head and neck. The horse’s body is reduced to essential shapes, with slender, angular legs suggesting movement.
The chariot is composed of two large, spoked wheels with a minimalist frame connecting the rider and the horse. The wheels are circular with four spokes each, adding to the abstract, geometric aesthetic. The structure is open and linear, emphasizing simplicity over detail.
Made of bronze, the sculpture has a dark, aged patina that enhances its ancient and timeless feel. The surface is slightly rough, contributing to its handcrafted, archaic quality.
This sculpture combines ancient motifs with modern abstraction, portraying a rider on a horse-drawn chariot in a highly stylized and minimalist form. The piece evokes a sense of historical significance while celebrating clean, geometric design, blending tradition with modern artistic expression.
It is in very good vintage condition.

An emotive painting that captures the dramatic spectacle of a matador and a bull, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1970 on reverse.
The subject matter focuses on the intense interaction between the two figures, with the matador standing confidently in his vibrant red attire and the bull charging forward with energy and strength.

An emotive and brilliantly executed mid-century semi-abstract oil painting by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
The composition captures the dynamic interaction between a matador and a bull. Executed in an abstract manner, the scene is rendered through a masterful reduction of form, where bold simplified forms in contrasting colours intersect to create depth and intensity. The limited earthy colour palette, predominantly composed of browns, deep reds, and black, coupled with expressive brushstrokes, evokes a profound emotional resonance, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the drama and passion of the bullfighting spectacle.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary champagne-painted wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.
Size: 35 x 46 cm (including frame)
