About this work

This close-up shows a painted horse’s head with a red bridle and a white body. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the horse a rough, textured look. Behind it, there’s a dark background with a hint of a red carriage or cart. The artist used bold colors—reds, whites, and browns—to stand out against the dark background. The horse’s face looks almost three-dimensional, with shadows adding depth. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
