About this work

This painting shows a riderless white horse rearing up on its hind legs. The horse’s muscles are tense, and its mane is wild. Below, a group of small dogs scatters, their bodies blurred. The background is dark and smoky, with a faint glow near the ground. The horse’s white coat stands out sharply against the shadowy sky. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the horse’s body texture. The dogs look startled, adding movement to the scene. Try looking up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in paintings.
