Hand Carved Wood Rearing Horse Sculpture Signed CJT/CJI
Striking hand-carved wooden sculpture of a rearing horse, crafted from a single solid piece of wood. The composition is particularly dynamic, featuring an integrated openwork support beneath the raised foreleg that provides both structural balance and a graceful sense of movement. Smoothly modeled musculature contrasts with the faceted, tool-marked base, highlighting the artist’s hand. The flowing mane, arched tail, and expressive head reflect a blend of realism and stylization.
Likely carved in the late 20th century, this piece aligns with the Alpine carving tradition, particularly in the style of Val Gardena (Northern Italy), known for skilled figural woodwork in basswood with rich stained finishes. Signed on the base (appears “CJT” or “CJI”), it stands as a distinctive studio-crafted work with strong decorative presence.
