Marcolfa Showing Cacasenno a Horse is a 1712 ink by Giuseppe Maria Crespi, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a scene with three figures: a woman, a child, and a horse. The woman, dressed in a long robe and hat, stands behind the child, who is wearing a simple tunic. The child appears to be holding the reins of the horse, which is standing to the left of the pair. The background of the painting is not detailed, but it appears to be a rural setting. The painting is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with attention paid to the textures of the clothing and the horse's fur. The facial expressions of the figures are also well-defined, with the woman looking down at the child and the child looking up at the horse. This painting is an example of the work of artist Crespi, Giuseppe Maria.
Giuseppe Maria Crespi (14 March 1665 – 16 July 1747), nicknamed Lo Spagnuolo ('The Spaniard'), was an Italian late Baroque painter of the Bolognese School.
