About this work

This painting shows a dark horse in a dynamic pose, with its head turned and legs bent. The horse is painted in a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and texture. The background is a warm, beige color. The horse's body is rendered in bold, dark strokes, while its legs and head are more sketchy and suggestive. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, as if the horse is about to spring into action. If you like this piece, you might want to check out more work by Susan Rothenberg.
