Horse's Head Bank

Alf Bruseth

National Gallery of Art

Two large, sculpted horse heads are depicted in the image. Both have a glossy finish and intricate details. The color palette consists of rich browns, black, and lighter browns, with accents of pink and yellow visible inside the mouth of the open-mouthed sculpture on the right. One horse head is in profile on the left, displaying detailed facial features and harness equipment. The second horse head on the right is turned slightly more towards the viewer, with an open mouth revealing additional colors inside and showcasing the harness equipment from a different angle. Both sculptures are placed on rounded, similarly colored bases against a light background.
