Georges Braque · 1921 · gouache and graphite on panel mounted on a painted board ·  Accession ID  2014.17.7

This is a painting of a person running beside a dark horse in a mountainous landscape. The person has their back to us, and they are running towards the left. They have pale skin and are draped in light-colored garments, including what looks like a long white veil covering their hair. The horse next to them is black and stands close to the center of the composition with its body facing the left and its head turned away from us. The background features an earth-toned hill or dune, with the sky painted in muted grays and browns. The scene is captured with soft, visible brushstrokes.
