Horse and Jockey

Palmyra Pimentel

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a jockey riding a leaping horse. The jockey wears a red and yellow hat, a green top, grey pants, and black boots. The horse is light-colored with a crackled surface texture, a black bridle, and the number "20" painted on its side. The sculpture shows a side view of the pair in a streamlined form emphasizing their forward movement. The horse's legs are outstretched, and there is a support structure visible underneath. The materials appear to be painted wood.
