Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture portrays a horse in mid-gallop, with its body extended and all four legs raised. It is crafted from a material with a smooth and consistent texture, featuring a grayish tone suggesting metal or painted wood. The horse's stylized anatomical features include a flowing tail and a swept-back mane, with detailed eyes, ears, and musculature. Mounted on a horizontal base and supported by a vertical rod, the sculpture may be part of a weather vane assembly. The simple lines and form create a classic and elegant depiction of a horse.
