A Horseman

Paduan 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a human figure riding a rearing horse. The figure holds an object resembling a baton or short stick raised above their head. The horse appears dynamic, with its front legs lifted in the air, while the rider is seated in a poised position. Alongside the rider and horse, a tree with distinct branches is featured. The sculpture is crafted from a dark material, possibly metal, with a brownish hue highlighted by lighter accents. The entire scene is framed within a rectangular border with beveled corners.
