Iron Hitching Post

Samuel Fineman

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a horse head with intricate details such as ears, eyes, nostrils, and a slightly open mouth. It is mounted on a tall, rectangular pedestal that tapers towards the top. The material appears to have a dark metallic sheen, possibly bronze. The sculpture is proportionate to the pedestal's height, giving it a striking presence. A sketch on the left provides dimensions and a simplified outline view, which highlights the elongated and narrow form of the sculpture.
