Celebrating the evolution of transportation in the early 20th century, this lustrous bronze by noted sculptor Stanley Wanlass depicts a Brass Era touring car laden with passengers passing a stallion and its rider. Mounted on a walnut base, this striking piece showcases Wanlass' impressive skill in creating highly detailed and emotive sculptures. Offered from the collection of noted enthusiast, the late Gordon Apker, it is number four of a limited edition of 30 examples released in 1983 and was acquired by Mr. Apker directly from the artist. Cherished within Mr. Apker’s collection for more than four decades, it measures 31 inches by 17.5 inches by 21 inches and includes a certificate of authenticity dated 25 October 1983.

Sculptor, designer, and painter Stanley Wanlass is known for his limited-edition automotive bronze sculptures that echo a deep love for automobiles, which he has collected, restored, and raced since the mid-fifties—from early Alfas and Bugattis to Brooklands race cars, Indy cars, Ferraris, and '32 Ford roadsters. His automotive sculptures and paintings are represented in the most prestigious museums and private collections worldwide.
