Artwork Description

Brown horse on green velvet

50.0 x 70.0 cm

This oil painting on green velvet shows an impressive portrait of a horse. The dark reddish-brown coat stands out against the dark green background. The horse's face is detailed, with an expressive eye that radiates intelligence and gentleness. The mane is depicted in dark, flowing strokes that convey movement and texture. Light and shadow have been skilfully used to emphasise the horse's contours and muscles. This gives the portrait a remarkable depth and three-dimensionality. The background with different shades of green and some yellow accents creates a naturalistic environment for the horse without distracting from its majestic appearance. The painting radiates a calm, almost meditative atmosphere. This oil painting captures both the physical beauty and the spirit of the animal. The technique of oil on velvet is very rarely used as it is very time-consuming and difficult.
