About this work

This image shows a black and white lithograph of a horse with wings. The horse is drawn in a sketchy style, with loose lines and minimal detail. It is facing to the left, with its head down and its wings spread out behind it. The background of the image is a solid beige color, which provides a neutral backdrop for the horse. There are some darker areas of shading around the horse's body, which give it some depth and dimension. The overall effect of the image is one of simplicity and elegance. The use of a limited color palette and a sketchy drawing style gives the image a sense of spontaneity and movement. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the work of Redon, Odilon.
