[PAINTED FIGURE]. [WELLESLEY, Arthur, First Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), subject]. The Duke of Wellington Mounted. [Ca. 1850s-1860s] This is a rare commemorative, a cast pot metal equestrian statue of the Duke most probably created shortly after his death in 1852. The finely sculpted, painted figure is 5 x 16 x 13”, mounted on a wood base and very detailed for a cast metal piece of this type. Hands and reins have been repaired, some wear to paint. A good example of this rare figure. Wellington rarely wore the depicted uniform outside social events.
