This photo captures a significant moment in history as King Alfonso of Spain poses for an equestrian statue. Taken on May 16,1922, the image showcases the king sitting regally atop his horse while Mr Herbert Haseltine, an American sculptor, meticulously sculpts his likeness. The setting is none other than the Court of the Royal Palace in Madrid. The photograph exudes a sense of grandeur and importance, with King Alfonso's dignified presence commanding attention. His stoic expression reflects both his royal stature and commitment to preserving Spanish heritage through art. Mr Herbert Haseltine's involvement adds another layer of interest to this picture. As a renowned sculptor from America, he brings his expertise to create a lasting tribute to the monarch. This collaboration between two talented individuals transcends borders and highlights the international nature of artistic endeavors during this era.
