Exclusively for Breyer Collector Club members! Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture. Or, they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway. Not all test run models are used, and they may vary over time as different painting techniques are developed and tested. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece.
This shaded red roan on Jeanne Mellin Herrick’s Friesian sculpture dates to the late 1990s. After 20 years of gracing the Breyer archive shelves, it’s time for this gentle giant to move on to another pasture! He is in excellent condition overall, with a few small marks from being handled over the years. See gallery for details. This piece of Breyer history is priced at $850 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
