This evocative work portrays a saddled paint horse standing beneath a timber shade structure, its coat patterned with dramatic sunlit stripes. Herring’s trademark realism—defined by crisp shadows, rich earth tones, and serene Western subjects—is fully on display here.
Rendered in oil on panel, the painting captures a moment of stillness and quiet rhythm familiar to ranch life. The vivid red saddle blanket adds a striking pop of color, while the dappled light showcases Herring’s masterful handling of contrast and texture.
The work is signed and dated lower right and presented in its original period frame, which complements its authentic charm. See less
