Lady Godiva, Bronze, Open Edition, 100cm high, 110cm wide, 27cm deep, Animals and Birds, Body, Female, Figurative, Horse, Nature, Nude, Women sculpture

This piece is an abstract yet figurative bronze sculpture that captures the famous figure in a moment of movement and connection with her horse. Measuring 100cm high, 110cm wide, and 27cm deep, the piece balances strength and elegance through its stylised form.

The sculpture depicts Lady Godiva leaning forward, her body stretched gracefully as she reaches to hold the horse’s neck. In contrast, the horse throws its head back, creating a dynamic tension between rider and animal. This opposing movement adds energy to the work, while the simplified, abstracted shapes keep the focus on form rather than fine detail.

The bronze surface, with its weight and permanence, gives the scene a timeless quality. The horse’s broad, sweeping curves anchor the piece, while Godiva’s elongated figure flows across its body. Together, they create a single rhythm, almost as if rider and horse merge into one expression of motion.

At the same time, the sculpture remains accessible and open to interpretation. Its abstraction allows viewers to move beyond literal storytelling. Instead, it highlights the bond between human and animal, strength and vulnerability, tradition and reinvention.

As an open edition, Lady Godiva invites wider appreciation, offering a bold yet poetic take on an iconic subject. It conveys power, grace, and fluidity while leaving room for the imagination to fill in the details.
