Stride of Champions captures the exhilarating energy of horse racing, with a jockey and racehorse locked in a powerful forward motion. This unique polychromed resin Artist's Proof depicts the legendary Australian racehorse Makybe Diva, the only horse in history to win the Melbourne Cup three times.
Created by acclaimed Australian sculptor Linda Klarfeld, the work captures the extraordinary athleticism, power and grace that made Makybe Diva one of the nation's most celebrated sporting icons. The sculpture conveys a sense of movement and speed, with horse and rider suspended in a dynamic moment of triumph.
This piece is the original Artist's Proof. As the master model, it represents the closest connection to the artist's hand and creative process. Unlike an edition cast, this Artist's Proof is a unique work and occupies a special place within the development of the sculpture.
The sculpture has been hand-finished and polychromed to evoke the colours and energy of the racetrack, creating a vibrant and engaging interpretation of one of Australia's greatest champions.
A rare opportunity to acquire an original Artist's Proof by one of Australia's leading figurative sculptors, celebrating an iconic moment in Australian sporting history.
