Artist, American, born Canada, 1894 - 1942

The sculpture depicts a person riding a horse. The subject is sculpted in a simplistic style, showing a figure with defined facial features and a body that suggests a seated posture. The rider is wearing a green head garment and a yellow outfit, with a noticeable red scarf around the neck. The horse is brown with a slightly darker shade around the mane and tail. Both the horse and rider appear to be carved from a material that gives the sculpture a slightly rough texture. It is painted in naturalistic colors. The entire piece rests on a rectangular base that is darker in color. The sculpture is compact and its proportions seem designed to be viewed from a close range.
