JACOBUS

SALE STARTS 5/13 @ 10AM PST

Dutch Harness Horse Stallion

Dynamic and dignified… the Dutch Harness Horse, the artist of the equine world. Their captivating motion is like a dance, their breathtaking power is like a painting, their unique rhythym is like a song, and their presence itself is that of a marble sculpture. It seemed only fitting to name my precious creation after my favorite Dutch artist, my grandfather, Jacobus Baas… This high stepping Dutch Harness Horse is eye-catching and captivating. This was something I strived to capture in sculpture… a moment of suspension, power and pride. His tilted head and wide eye locked on the celebratory crowd hollering excitement. This raucous does not frighten him, it encourages him… he is putting on a show! A show that only the elegant Dutch Harness Horse can perform! This is a large 1:9 scale, statement piece fine art sculpture. He was created to command attention… whether on the show table or gracing your home or herd. His creation was a beautiful challenge for me and a culmination of my growth as an artist and human. No details spared… It was very important to me that I not only honor this stunning breed but honor his namesake, my grandfather, Jacobus. I have no current plans to release in any other scales/sizes. I want to enjoy him in his original size as initially envisioned as a unique collector’s piece. I do hope to have a few pieces released in bronze in the future.

SIZE: Large Traditional Hollow cast with reinforced wire limbs and tail. See comparison photos next to Truly Jolie & Troubadour for a visual. He has 2 robust pegs on the bottom of each grounded hoof that set into his base and seamlessly disappear for the illusion of the suspended trot.

Jacobus will be sold as an unpainted and unprepped blank resin and is intended to be finished by the buyer/owner - this includes finishwork and any customization/alteration as long my artist stamp on his underside remains visible. Please note castings are made to order so you may experience a significant wait for your piece in the queue. There are no limits to the amount one individual can order but he is limited to 200 pieces.
