The Horse Trapped by the Horseman, also known as the Malima, depicts a galloping horse and a horseman pulling the horse. These sculptures are made of Carrara marble and were created by sculptor Guillaume Cousteau between 1743 and 1745. The sculpture was originally ordered by King Louis XV to be made to decorate the entrance of the Mari Castle and replace the removed sculpture. Due to the damage caused by the armored vehicle parade on July 14th, they were replaced with reconstructed marble replicas made by Michel Bourbon in his studio in Bouyg. The original document is now preserved in an old building in the Louvre that has been transformed into a courtyard, known as the Marley Courtyard.
