Horse Galloping on Right Foot 1887 - 1920

This bronze sculpture by Edgar Degas, titled “Horse Galloping on Right Foot,” depicts a horse in mid-stride, capturing the energy and dynamism of the animal in motion. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers and horses, was fascinated by the fleeting moments of movement. The sculpture's rough, unfinished surfaces and the horse’s contorted pose emphasize the spontaneity of the subject. The artwork's location at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, makes it accessible to a wide audience, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate Degas's mastery of capturing movement.
