Small Horse Picture 1909

Franz Marc's "Small Horse Picture" (1909) depicts two horses in a simplified, expressive style characteristic of the artist's work. The painting, executed in bold brushstrokes and vibrant color, captures the essence of the animals rather than realistic detail. The horses are depicted in a pastoral setting, their forms outlined against a bright yellow background. This artwork exemplifies Marc's engagement with German Expressionism, reflecting his interest in the spiritual and emotional dimensions of nature and animals.
