Horse Weather Vane

Lloyd Broome

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden horse sculpture. The image depicts a stylized representation of a horse in mid-trot. The horse is rendered in a flat, almost two-dimensional style that emphasizes its carved wooden construction. Its body is brown with detailing suggesting the texture of wood grain. The mane and tail are dark grey, while the hooves are shaded with a similar grey tone. The background is off-white, enhancing the focus on the horse figure. This is in the style of American folk art.
