Horse

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a sculpture of a horse. The horse's head is turned to the left. The sculpture is made of dark material, possibly bronze or clay, and has a shiny surface. It stands on a flat base, with its front left leg slightly forward and its hind legs spread apart. The horse's ears are visible, and its mouth is closed. The sculpture appears to be a representation of a horse by artist Joseph Stieka.
