This is a painting of a wooden horse sculpture. The image shows a depiction of a simplified horse form, carved from wood. Its head is long and tapered, converging smoothly into a high-arched neck and broad body, rendered with visible cuts and tool marks that highlight its wooden texture. The horse is standing on two front legs depicted in a squared, solid form while the hind legs are similarly angular. The earthy brown tones emphasize the natural wood material. The background is a plain, light color.
