This is a black-and-white photo of a small sculpture. A person sits sideways on a horse, holding the reins. The horse stands on a flat base, its legs slightly spread. The rider’s face is blurred, and the whole scene looks like a quick sketch in three dimensions. The photo itself is grainy, with a faded green border. The sculpture’s simple shapes and strong shadows make it look like it could be a study for something bigger. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro—it’s the technique of using light and dark to create depth.
