Abrahams' piece is a "painterly response" to a full-scale sketch for John Constable's famous painting, The Leaping Horse. It emphasizes simplified forms and bold colors, such as the "masses of green" for trees, reflecting his interest in man-made landscapes like the bridge and flood-gate shown in the work. See less
