About this work

This photo shows a dramatic statue of a horse rearing up on its hind legs. The horse stands on a tall stone pedestal near a bridge, with a building and trees in the background. The lighting is soft, making the horse’s muscles and the stone’s texture stand out. The artist, Pamela Booth, took this photo in Vienna’s Belvedere Palace Gardens around 1933. Notice how the light and shadow play on the horse’s body—it’s almost like the artist used a technique to make the statue look even more alive. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this one.
