"Horse and Rider was executed in 1952-1953 by Marino Marini. The 81 1/2-inch tall abstract bronze piece depicts a mounted figure with its arms extended and its head turned toward the sky. The horse stands on all fours with its head turned toward the sky. It was acquired as a gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn in 1966, purchased directly from the artist."
