This is a painting of a carousel scene. It depicts two carousel horses, one light brown and one black, prancing side by side. Each horse is adorned with bright harnesses and there is a red drapery ribbon flowing upward. In the background, another horse with a yellow mane is partially visible. Bold, flowing lines are used for the horses' manes and raised legs, creating a sense of movement and joy. The background is a flat blue tone contrasting with the earthier hues of the horses. The style is reminiscent of American modernist artists of the mid-20th century.
