A pearlescent, gold-shaded, white dappled horse stands in front of a dark background in this horizontal painting. The horse faces our left in profile and lifts its head. Its four feet are evenly spaced, and the back of his hindquarters and his tail are largely swallowed in shadow. Light glistens off the horse’s muscles along its body and neck. Traces of a signature in light paint are illegible in the lower left corner.
