Abstract Horse Art Appraisal

Dynamic Horse and Rider Abstract Painting

This item is a framed painting depicting a dynamic horse racing or polo scene, characterized by its vibrant, abstract expressionist style. The artwork features three horses and riders, rendered with loose, impasto brushstrokes, giving a sense of motion and energy. The colors are bold and varied, with prominent blues, reds, browns, and hints of yellow and green, suggesting a spirited competition. The background is abstracted, with splashes of color that blend into the figures, indicating a rapid movement or possibly a dusty track. The painting appears to be an oil on canvas or similar board, given the visible texture and depth of the paint. The visible signature on the lower right suggests the artist's name is 'Daver' or similar, although clarity is limited. The painting is housed within a simple, light-colored wooden or composite frame with a slight beveled edge, complementing the artwork without overpowering it. The frame shows no obvious signs of significant damage or wear, and the painting itself appears to be in good condition with no visible tears, punctures, or significant paint loss. The style suggests it could be from the mid to late 20th century, particularly leaning towards the latter half due to the vibrant abstraction often seen in that period. The craftsmanship quality appears to be professional, with a well-executed composition and strong use of color and texture to convey its subject matter.
