Description from the seller
1. スタイルの特徴
Appearance of the horse: 四つの蹄がすべて地面から離れており、全速力の疾走を示唆する。頭部と首は前方へ伸び、動的な緊張感を生み出している。
Traces of polychromy: 黄色とまだらの装飾模様が馬の体に依然として見える一方、鞍と腹帯は黒と赤で塗られている。
Rider's posture: 騎手は直立して手を握っており、服の上にも黄色の顔料の痕跡が見える。
The remaining pigment is mottled and uneven. The surface bears irregular traces of soil staining and burial deposits. The overall color palette—a blend of earthy yellow, grayish-brown, and off-white—conveys a natural, serene texture rather than artificial embellishment, exuding the antique charm accumulated through centuries of burial.
残っている顔料はまだらで不均一。表面には土染みの不規則な痕跡と埋葬時の沈着物が見られる。全体の色調は、土色がかった黄色、灰褐色、オフホワイトの混合で、人工的な装飾というより自然で穏やかな質感を伝え、世紀を超えて埋葬されてきた時代のアンティークな魅力を放っている。
