Carousel Horse c. 1939

"Carousel Horse" is a realistic drawing by George Constantine, executed around 1939. The artwork depicts a white carousel horse in profile, frozen mid-stride with a saddle and stirrup. The horse's mane and tail are flowing, and its features are detailed, lending a sense of movement and life to the otherwise inanimate subject. The artist's precise and detailed brushstrokes capture the worn paint and textures of the horse, creating a sense of nostalgia and a glimpse into the past. Constantine's depiction of this carousel horse offers a charming look at a classic amusement park icon.
