In 1/3 Life-Size Colt, Edward Waites captures the developing strength and assurance of the young horse at a moment of poised movement. The colt advances with a measured step, its frame still lean but already defined by emerging muscle and balance. Waites’ modelling is disciplined and architectural, emphasising proportion and structure rather than sentiment, allowing the anatomy to speak with clarity. The head is lowered slightly, reinforcing forward intent, while the legs and shoulders establish a confident rhythm through the composition. A rich, dark patina enhances the surface, drawing light across the flanks and neck while preserving the sculpture’s physical weight.
