Equestrian Sculpture

Ralph Sketch has been inspired since childhood by the power & beauty of bronze, & particularly equestrian sculpture. After success in the insurance business, he turned his hobby into a second career as a sculptor. In this unique book, he describes in words & photos of his own works the lost wax process of bronze sculpture. A lover of horses, his small bronzes capture with whimsy & truth a broad range of equestrian activities, including hunting, racing & show jumping. Sketch, who became a Canadian citizen, created the McKee Trophy given for the international jumping competition held during Toronto's Royal Winter Fair.Sketch, Ralph is the author of 'Equestrian Sculpture', published 2000 under ISBN 9780788168826 and ISBN 0788168827.
