Note du spécialiste

This work is sold with a photo-certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.


"He has the greatest reverence for horses...his father rode a horse through the hills of Antioquia. Botero's equally affectionate evocations of all of his various animals remind us that he thinks of these creatures as integral to his own personal universe."

E. J. Sullivan, Botero Sculpture, 1984.
