Chalkware Horse

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a white ceramic horse figurine. The horse has a slightly raised front leg and is standing on a greenish base. The base has an organic design with hints of blues and greens, giving the appearance of a grassy or watery surface. The horse's facial features, mane, and eyes are delicately rendered. The pose of the horse conveys movement and liveliness. The style is reminiscent of Mary Cassatt, showcasing a keen observation of the subject matter.
