Horse

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Horse" by Joseph Cornell depicts a horse with its head lowered. The horse appears to be made of a dark material, possibly metal, with visible signs of wear and tear, including white spots scattered across its body. The sculpture shows the horse in a three-quarter view, with its body facing right and slightly toward the background, and its head pointing downward and to the right. The horse's tail is short and curved upward. A saddle is visible on the horse's back. The horse stands on a flat, oval base. The background of the image is light gray. The overall posture of the horse suggests a sense of movement or tension.
