Hitching Post c. 1940

"Hitching Post", a watercolor painting created by an anonymous artist around 1940, showcases a detailed depiction of a horse's head. The image focuses on the head of a horse, with a ring in its mouth, suggestive of its intended use as a hitching post for horses. The artist has captured the realistic texture and form of the horse's head and the rings. The artwork's simple composition and focus on a single object evoke a sense of realism and a glimpse into the functional objects of the past.
