The Impressionist piece captures a powerful, dynamic horses in mid-motion, using the hallmark techniques of the Impressionist style -loose brushstrokes, vibrant color interplay, and an emphasis on light and movement rather than detail. The reddish-brown horses is painted with warm tones like ochre, rust, and sienna.

The energy in the painting comes from the expressive strokes and the way the painter uses contrasting hues-cool blues and warm earth tones-to give a vibrating sense of motion. The blurred legs and wind-swept enhance the feeling of speed.

This kind of work is reminiscent of artists like Edgar Degas or Rosa Bonheur, who studied animal locomotion. It's a celebration of both the physical beauty and the spirited vitality of the horse.
