The sculpture depicts a horse in full stride, galloping. It is made of a golden-brown material, resembling copper or metal, with a smooth texture. The horse has a sleek body, and the mane and tail are flowing back. The hooves have a dark color. The sculpture appears to be floating on a light background, creating a sense of movement.
