The Taxi Horses

This image captures a striking public sculpture rendered in a textured bronze or metal finish, depicting two powerful horses harnessed to a cart, with two human figures one driver seated and holding the reins, and another man standing at the horses’ heads, gently tending to them. The figures are stylized yet lifelike, their postures evoking a quiet dignity and a sense of daily labour from another era. The sculpture beautifully conveys movement and human-animal connection through static form.
