Carved Toy Horse

Hester Duany

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a horse standing on all four legs. The horse is crafted with smooth, flowing lines that clearly define its form, including detailed attention to its mane and tail. The sculpture is made from a material that has a rich, brown color, resembling polished wood. This coloration enhances the naturalistic appearance of the horse. In relation to our perspective, the horse is facing toward the right, and its stance is stable. The simplicity and smooth finish of the sculpture contribute to a timeless and classic appearance.
