Saddle

Gordena Jackson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a horse saddle with intricate carved patterns and a high back and front. The saddle is primarily in shades of brown, with darker tones for the shadow and lighter hues where the light hits. It is centrally positioned in the image, with its seat and decorations slightly facing the upper left. The stirrups hang down towards the bottom of the image, while the straps extend vertically from the sides. The background is a plain, light beige color.
