Description

This is one of the most symbolic works. It allegorically depicts a man and a woman. The impersonality of the characters is striking. The girl's face is covered with a hat, the horse has only a croup registered. The characters of the picture are similar to each other, even externally. The dark skin of the girl echoes the color scheme of the horse, her hand gently rests on his neck. The girl's pose is natural, but restless. There is no bridle or stirrups on the horse. It is not known how the girl will control him if he suddenly jumps. They have absolutely nothing in common, except the desire to be together. The horse's pose is very calm and static, he does not resist the girl and does not try to throw her off. However, it is difficult to guess the mood of the animal. The relationship between the characters of the picture can not be determined at a glance. The horse is in no hurry to throw off the rider, or vice versa, will they continue to ride together?
