The series of 3 sculptures is interesting because they are all thematically similar but quite different in execution. Figure A is graven on a slab, Figure B is very artistic (note the high rack of the horse, elegant!) and in half relief, while Figure C looks almost sub-Roman, with those scary moon eyes and thick limbed bodies.<br>
