About this work

A young child stands in the center of the image, holding a wooden horse toy. The child’s face is serious, with big, dark eyes and a small frown. They’re dressed in a light-colored outfit with buttons down the front and a pocket that has two embroidered birds. The background is plain and blurry, so the focus stays on the child. The toy horse is simple but detailed, with a red saddle and black mane. The child’s outfit looks slightly old-fashioned, with a collar that stands up neatly. The colors are soft, mostly light and muted, except for the bright red saddle. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
