A sculptural study of a horse by Majalisa Alexandersson, modelled in earthenware and finished with a richly varied patinated surface, partially waxed to enhance depth and tonal complexity.
The work is characterised by its tactile, encrusted texture and earthy palette of iron reds, umbers, and mineralised glazes, evoking both ancient artefact and elemental form.
Compact yet expressive, the sculpture reflects the artist’s distinctive approach to clay as a raw, sculptural medium shaped as much by fire and material as by hand.
Alexandersson was a mid- to late-20th-century Swedish sculptor who balanced teaching with art before dedicating herself fully to sculpture, producing figurative and narrative-inspired works in materials such as bronze and ceramics.
