"The Second Test Run of 2020 - Meet Chestnut Misty's Twilight. 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. Misty’s Twilight (mold #470) was sculpted by Jeanne Mellin Herrick as a portrait of one of Misty’s descendants, made famous in Marguerite Henry’s novel of the same name. This test run model has been painted as a bright flaxen chestnut with a star and one hind sock. Her color just glows! Based on the painting style and techniques used to create this model, she likely dates from the late 1990s or early 2000s. This piece was priced at $850 and comes with a certificate of authenticity." www.breyerhorses.com.
