The Black Horse
1931

A sketch of a person grooming a horse with another horse in the background. The person is bending over, attending to the horse's front leg, while the horse stands calmly. The artwork has a rough, dynamic quality with visible strokes and lines, suggesting movement and texture. The color palette is earthy, with shades of brown, black, and red.
