National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a two-dimensional horse weathervane. The horse is depicted in a dynamic position, with one front leg and the opposite hind leg extended forward. The color scheme consists of earthy tones like reds and browns, evoking a weathered metal appearance. The mane and tail are flowing and stylized. The horse stands on a horizontal rod, serving as the base of the weathervane. The background is plain, focusing on the details of the horse. The style resembles folk art.
