Copper Weather Vane

Victor F. Muollo

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a horse-drawn sulky sculpture. The artwork depicts a horse in motion, pulling a sulky with large, spoked wheels. The horse is shown in a dynamic pose, with one front leg raised. Attached to the sulky is a detailed figure seated in the driver's seat. The sculpture is set on a long base that runs parallel to the ground. The colors are muted, giving a metal-like appearance to the entire composition.
