Characteristic bronze statue by Pieter d'Hont, entitled 'Mare with foal' from 1969. Released in an edition of 100 pieces.
The artist designed the sculpture 'Merrie met foal' commissioned by the Rabobank on the occasion of the opening of a branch in Utrecht. The large object is now owned by the municipality of Utrecht and can still be seen in the Sint Jacobsstraat.
"For the enlargement of the plaster model to a life-size model in clay, Pieter d'Hont has a real mare come to the studio. The artist finds the motif - a foal drinking from its mother who is sniffing at her young - in keeping with the growth of the bench: 'I meant the cycle of life, the continuity."
