Robert Pohle

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is of a horse in mid-gallop, crafted from wood with a weathered, grayish-brown color. The horse has a simplistic design with visible grain and texture, showcasing a rustic appearance. Its legs are extended and the mane is flowing, conveying a sense of movement. One of its legs has a rod-like support underneath it. The sculpture is flat and in a folk-art style, set against a light-colored backdrop.
