Horse and Rider Weather Vane

Helen Hobart

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a horse and rider in mid-jump. The horse's legs are extended as though clearing an obstacle, while the rider is seated leaning slightly forward and holding reins. The sculpture is monochrome, resembling bronze or a similar metal material. It is mounted on horizontal and vertical rods for balance. The overall presentation captures movement and poise in the equestrian sport theme.
