Icelandic Horse with Blonde Mane 1985

Louisa Matthiasdottir's "Icelandic Horse with Blonde Mane" (1985) is a vivid oil painting depicting a chestnut horse with a blonde mane grazing in a field. The horse is rendered in simplified, geometric forms characteristic of Matthiasdottir's style. The background features a distant landscape with a blue lake and mountains, adding a sense of space and depth to the composition. The use of bright, bold colors and the emphasis on form over detail create a strong, expressive image that captures the essence of the Icelandic horse.
