Paard 1923 - 1925

"Paard" (Horse) is a bronze sculpture by Dutch artist Saar de Swart, created between 1923 and 1925. The sculpture, which is likely a depiction of a mounted knight, is characterized by its simplified forms and stylized drapery, common elements in de Swart's artistic vocabulary. The figure is captured in a dynamic pose, suggesting movement and a sense of energy. While details are minimal, the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the subject through form and gesture is evident. This work embodies de Swart's exploration of a minimalist and expressive style.
