About the Item
Artist Enrique Alférez was born in Zacatecas, Mexico and lived nearly the entire 20th century. After service in the Mexican Revolution as a youth, he emigrated to Texas, studied in Chicago, and in 1929 first made his way to Louisiana. For almost 70 years, he worked in New Orleans. His lasting imprint is seen among Art Deco figurative sculptures, monuments, fountains, and architectural details in prominent locations from the Central Business District to the shore of Lake Pontchartrain and beyond.
Alférez's sculpture was most frequently based on the human form, primarily the female figure. He was a modernist who leaned on realism and drew extensively from classical sculpture, with careful attention to the revelation of character through physical features. He strove to better define the human figure and to capture emotion, individuality, and relationships between his subjects. Alférez also infused some of his figurative sculptures, bas-reliefs, and wood carvings with metaphor, allegory, and myth.
- Katie Bowler Young, author of Enrique Alférez: Sculptor
Alférez's work can be found found in numerous private collections and in metro New Orleans at the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the New Orleans Botanical Garden, and the New Orleans Lakefront Airport, among others.

Terence Coventry (1938-2017) ‘Riders’ Bronze Sculpture
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A sculptural bronze of two figures on horseback – titled ‘Riders’ – first shown in 1989 by the late British sculptor, Terence Coventry (1938-2017).
Coventry’s works were exhibited several times at Gallery Pangolin, including posthumously following selected exhibitions after the sculptor’s death. This bronze sculpture is one of these such pieces. The sculpture is pictured in a press release from Gallery Pangolin exhibiting Terence Coventry’s works from April 2019.
Although unsigned by the artist, there is an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity from Gallery Pangolin. It is a limited-edition piece, edition 5 of 7 similar made.
Depicting two horse riders, this three-dimensional figural sculpture will make a fantastic display piece in an interior, ideally situated on a plinth so that it’s beauty can be observed from every angle.
Price includes Artist’s Resale Rights (ARR) at 4%.
