About the Item

Oil on cardboard mounted on canvas, signed lower right Image size: 9 x 7 1/4 inches (23 x 18.5 cm) Original gilt frame This painting shows a horse standing in profile in front of, what would seem, an overcast landscape as background. A serenity is brought to the painting as soft light surrounds the horse and illuminates the front of the creature's head. Shonborn has captures the near perfect white colouring of the horse, the expert handling of the muted tones show traces of a Barbizon influence. With stunning detail and fine finishing of the head and muscular definition this is a most fine equestrian study.
