Original French Textured Equine Study of a Horse

Title: Original French Textured Equine Study of a Horse Artist: Robert Ladou (French, 1929-2014) Medium: Acrylic and Textured Paste on Paper Size: 14 (Height) x 14 (Width) Signed: No Condition: Good, with minor signs of wear. Provenance: From the artist’s estate Description: This striking piece uses abstract techniques to depict a horse and rider in a unique, almost cubist manner. The composition plays with geometric forms and muted tones, giving the subject an ethereal, mysterious quality. The layered, textural application of paint, combined with the subtle blending of colors, suggests a fleeting moment captured in motion. The dark background adds contrast to the light figure, creating a dramatic visual impact that pulls the viewer’s attention. The artist’s ability to distill the horse into essential shapes while maintaining a sense of movement and dynamism is remarkable, showcasing an experimental approach to traditional equine subjects. This piece would be perfect for collectors with an interest in equine art, abstraction, or studies of form and movement.
