Horse Weather Vane

Nicholas Acampora

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a stylized horse. The drawing features a side profile of a horse in a trotting posture. The horse is depicted in a simplified form, using dark, solid lines to outline its shape. The body appears segmented into distinct sections for the head, neck, torso, and legs. It is placed on a rectangular base, suggesting it could be a decorative piece. The work focuses on form and structure without texture or color, giving it an industrial aesthetic.
