Kerr Eby

Artist, American, 1889 - 1946

This is a drawing of a polo match in progress. The scene shows horses and riders engaged in a game on a field. A group of horses is galloping towards the right side of the image, with riders holding mallets ready to strike at a ball on the ground. The drawing conveys a sense of motion and energy, typical of a polo match. In the background, there are faint outlines of spectators and hills. Light and shadow are used to accentuate the horses' forms and the riders' postures.
