Toy Horse

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden horse. The painting shows a stylized representation of a toy horse, with a smooth, rounded body and simple features. The horse is primarily colored in light gray, with small red and yellow spots scattered across its body. Black outlines accentuate its form, particularly around its head and legs. The ears are a reddish hue. A black line runs diagonally down the body, leading to a circular detail at the bottom. The tail is reddish-brown with dark spots, echoing the body pattern. The legs are straight with dark tips resembling hooves. The painting style is reminiscent of folk art, featuring simple forms and a vivid color palette.
