Horse's head is a 1855 oil by Juliusz Kossak, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting is a portrait of a horse's head, rendered in oil paint. The horse is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in its features and texture. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the horse's head. A notable aspect of this painting is the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. This technique is evident in the way the light falls on the horse's head, creating a sense of three-dimensionality.
