A figure in a wide-brimmed hat and a flowing, patterned coat of coral, gold, and blue sits beside a pale gray horse against a softly rendered green background. The composition balances figurative portraiture with equestrian tradition, rendered in loose brushwork that captures both the refined costume and the serene presence of the animal. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
