Important high-relief mural of popular art in enamelled terracotta, handmade in Belgium. This wall sculpture of great realism represents a hussar on horseback from the First Empire, specifically a trumpeter recognizable by his sky-blue reversed livery and his red trumpet flame trimmed with gold.
Wearing a fur colback, he rides a rearing white stallion.
The details of the briquet sword, the cartridge box with the imperial coat of arms featuring the eagle, and the golden epaulettes testify to superb historical precision. The reverse in raw terracotta features its original suspension wires inserted into the mass, along with an official label sealed "Made in Belgium." An art workshop signature is discreetly engraved at the tip.
