Barn Decoration

Walter Hochstrasser

National Gallery of Art

Two sculpted horse heads emerge from a rectangular decorative plaque adorned with botanical elements like leaves and flower motifs. The color palette consists predominantly of various tones of brown, tan, and hints of gold, giving an antique effect. Positioned centrally, the horse heads face forward with their necks nestled within a border accentuated by floral carvings that extend horizontally across the plaque.
