Artist, American, born Canada, 1894 - 1942

The sculpture depicts a horse standing on a rectangular base. The horse is carved from a wood-like material, with a rich brown color showcasing natural grain patterns adding texture to its surface. The form of the horse is stylized and simplified, with elongated legs and a somewhat abstract body shape, giving it a primitive and minimalist appearance. The mane and tail are not detailed, contributing to the overall smooth and simplistic design of the sculpture. The sculpture is presented as an upright figure in profile, facing to the left.
