Toy Horse

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a stylized horse standing in profile. The horse is depicted with a deep brown hue, and its body is elongated with smooth, arching lines that give it a simplified and elegant appearance. Its mane and tail are subtly detailed, with gentle strokes suggesting softness. The background is a soft, neutral tone that allows the horse to stand out prominently. The painting focuses mainly on the form and shape of the horse itself. It is in the style of an artist working in a minimalist or folk art tradition.
