The sculpture depicts a figure riding a horse. The subject of the sculpture is a person seated on the back of a horse in mid-motion. The sculpture is made of bronze and has a textured surface. The horse and rider are stylistically rough and abstract in form, with simplified features. The rider’s body is hunched slightly forward, gripping the horse. The sculpture is elevated on a metal support.
