Carousel Horse

Albert Ryder

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a painting of a carousel horse. The horse is depicted dynamically, with one front leg raised, and detailed carving throughout. The mane is flowing and styled to one side, while the saddle is ornately decorated with red, orange, and blue hues. The body of the horse is gray with wood-like engravings. The style is reminiscent of folk art, focusing on the craftsmanship of the horse with a simplistic background.
