Hitching Post 1935 - 1942

"Hitching Post," an anonymous watercolor from 1935-1942, depicts a jockey in a blue and yellow uniform holding a whip, standing atop a pedestal. The artist utilizes a realistic style to create a sense of depth and detail in the jockey's form, capturing the movement of the figure. The jockey's stance suggests anticipation and readiness, perhaps for a horse race. The painting's simple composition, showcasing the jockey against a plain background, emphasizes the figure and draws the viewer's attention to its details.
