Weather Vane

James McLellan

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a horse in mid-gallop, with extended legs suggesting movement and speed. The sculpture is made of a dark-colored material, potentially bronze or a similar metal. The horse appears dynamic and energetic, with a swept back mane and detailed muscular form conveying power and grace. It is placed on a horizontal bar, indicating it could be a weather vane or a decorative piece meant to be viewed in profile.
