Artist, American, 1909 - 1976

This is a painting of a horse with a saddle-like covering, captured in a leaping posture. The horse is depicted in profile with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. There is no background detail, placing the focus entirely on the horse. The legs of the horse are extended, indicating motion, and there is a simplistic saddle-like material along its back. The painting style emphasizes the anatomical features and the form of the horse with a focus on texture and shading that gives the body a three-dimensional appearance.
