Vintage Heredities Bronze Girl Foal Sculpture P Parsons Signed 70s 80s Figure

Capture a tender moment with this beautiful vintage “Young Girl and Foal” sculpture by the renowned artist Pauline Parsons for Heredities. This charming cold cast bronze piece, believed to date from the late 1970s or early 1980s, depicts a young girl affectionately tending to a resting foal, offering it a handful of grass. The superb detailing in the figures’ expressions and forms makes this a truly heartwarming and collectable piece.
