The Brown Horse
1930

A sketch of a person standing close to a large horse, gently holding the horse's face. The person appears to be a stable worker or a trainer in a cap, and the horse is attentively interacting with the human. Another figure is faintly drawn in the background, and the setting suggests a stable or barn environment. The artwork is rendered in earthy tones with expressive lines and shading.
