Stamped: Peyrol Editeur The most famous of Bonheur's mounted equestrian sculptures, Le Grand Jockey portrays a winning jockey rewarding his winning mount with a pat on the neck. Titled Un Jockey, the bronze was first exhibited at the Salon in 1879 along with the equestrian grouping, Un cavalier, époque de Louis XV (nos. 4817 & 4816 respectively; see Christie's New York, October 28, 2003, Lot 257 for a cast of the latter).
