"Raising his right arm in a gesture that alludes to the pose of the big daddy of the genre (the colossal portrait of Marcus Aurelius in the Capitoline Museums in Rome), this curly-haired kid is rapt in fantasy — play-acting at conquering the known world like a pint-sized Alexander the Great, or riding from some two-horse frontier town into the Wild West. He leans backwards as his steed rears up, imbuing the composition with sprightliness — something missing in the statue by Le Sueur, whose horse decorously raises a foreleg in a display of dressage-like control".
