Horse

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Horse" by artist Seibo depicts a horse sitting on its haunches. The horse has a brown body and a lighter brown muzzle. The horse's body faces right and its head looks left and slightly upward. The horse has a long snout with nostrils and mouth defined. Its ears are small and set on top of its head. The horse's mane and tail are detailed and textured to look like hair. The horse's front legs are bent under its body and its back legs are stretched behind it. The background is plain gray.
