Woman and the Phantom Steed

This is a dramatic, high-contrast, black and white portrait of a woman standing beside a horse. The Subjects: A woman with long, dark, flowing hair and intense eyes stands on the right. She is wrapped in a dark, simple shawl or hooded garment. To her left is the large head and neck of a horse, its mane dramatically flowing, its eyes shadowy and powerful. Mood & Style: The artwork is executed against a solid black background, giving it a gothic or mythological feel. The intense gazes of both the woman and the horse, combined with the heavy black shading and white highlights, create a strong sense of intimacy, mystery, and untamed power.
