EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF NAPOLEON I

Equestrian statue in bronze with black patina representing Napoleon I in military costume. The Emperor wears the uniform of the colonel of the horse hunters of the Imperial Guard.
Represented as a majestic rider, Napoleon appears quite upright. Wearing his famous cocked hat, he holds the reins in his left hand to better control the animal’s gait. He wears the collar jacket with the plaques of the Order of the Legion of Honor, as well as the saber on the left side.
The statue rests on green marble Vert de Mer base.

French work circa 1880-1890.
