Artwork Description

White horse portrait on black velvet

45.0 x 45.0 cm

This impressive oil painting shows the portrait of a majestic white horse against a deep black background. The strong contrast between light and dark lends the work a dramatic and captivating effect. The horse is depicted in close-up, with the focus on its noble head and flowing mane. The animal's colouring ranges from pure white to delicate shades of grey, skilfully used to create volume and texture. Particularly impressive is the detailed depiction of the silky mane, which falls in soft strands over the horse's neck and suggests movement. The horse's eyes are dark and expressive, conveying a mixture of gentleness and wildness. Overall, the painting radiates an aura of elegance, power and mysterious beauty. The technique of oil on velvet is very rarely used, as it is very time-consuming and difficult.
