Prance To the Music - Retired Painted Pony

From the equestrian ballets of the 17th century, Artist, Maria Ryan has crafted a Painted Pony that reflects a time when costumed horses performed intricately choreographed figures to music. From the circular parades of carousel horses whirling to the rollicking tunes of an organ, horses and music have had a colorful relationship that has struck a chord in many Painted Pony artists. Dressed in instruments found in an orchestral symphony, high-stepping across a piano keyboard, "Prance to the Music" is a ceramic design that measures 6 1/2".
