Head of a Horse

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a stone or plaster sculpture of a horse's head. The horse's head sculpture, titled 'Head of a Horse,' is by the artist Umberto Boccioni. The sculpture is shown from the side, and it captures the horse's head and neck. The horse's head is tilted slightly downwards. The sculpture appears to be made of a rough, textured material with visible imperfections. Two holes are visible on the top right side of the horse's head. The background of the image is plain white.
