Hooked Rug with Horse 1935 - 1942

This hooked rug, created by Joseph Glover between 1935 and 1942, depicts a horse standing in a field, outlined by a fence. The rug is made of wool and fabric strips, and showcases the artist's skill in using color and texture to create a realistic portrayal. It exemplifies a popular subject in American folk art, particularly in the context of rural life. The rug's size, noted as 26 inches long and 36 inches wide, suggests it was likely intended for a personal space. The inscription "Preliminary Material Sketch for Approval of Subject" suggests this rug was intended for a specific commission.
