Description:
Original work with a sports theme that depicts an intense polo match scene, with two riders disputing the play on horseback.

The painting presents a figurative execution with vivid and defined colors, paying particular attention to the players’ uniforms, the horses, and the elements typical of polo. The diagonal position of the animals and the raised stirrups contribute to reinforcing the dynamism of the scene.
The work appears signed Roldán in the lower right corner. On the back there is also a handwritten inscription that identifies the technique as oil on canvas, titles the work “Polo II,” records the name Fabián Roldán, and the date 2-2001.
