COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
P. Evelyn, 'Hubert Le Sueur's equestrian bronzes at the Victoria and Albert Museum,' The Burlington Magazine, 1995, vol. CXXXVII, pp. 85-92.
The dynamic and unusual pose of this soldier suggests that it was originally part of a larger composition -- probably an equestrian group. Peta Motture, in her article on the Le Sueur equestrian group in the Victoria and Albert Museum, reunites a similarly terrified soldier with its original horse and rider (Evelyn, loc. cit.).
