Horse and Rider

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a man riding a horse. The man wears a reddish-brown top and a greenish-tan bottom garment. He sits on a saddle with a reddish-pink blanket underneath. The man holds the reins in both hands. The horse is tan with a darker tail and a black and gray mane. A bridle and blinders are on the horse's head. Two straps run under its body, one across the chest and one across the belly. A saddle sits on the horse's back. The horse's left front and right back legs are raised. The sculpture sits on a wooden base with a scalloped edge. The base has two short cylindrical posts, one under the horse's front left leg and one under the horse's back right leg. The background is white. The title of the work is "Horse and Rider".
