The warrior's left hand may have originally held a spear or shield. The sculpture was cast between ca. 1510 and 1515.

Bronze sculptures were usually made so that they can be reproduced in several versions, but the lost-wax casting method of casting used by Riccio makes this horse and rider unique.
