Gentling the Colt
1941

A painting depicting a muscular black horse standing next to a man in a plaid shirt and overalls. The man appears to be holding the horse's reins and a black whip or lead. In the background, there's a rustic farm scene with a large barn, a few outbuildings, and a fence. Bare trees and a cloudy sky suggest a late autumn or winter season. The artwork has a folk art style, with attention to the textures of the horse's mane and the wooden buildings.
