More about this artwork

This painting, "A Kentucky Breaking Cart," by Edward Penfield, features a vivid and charming scene that captures a moment of equestrian activity. The central focus of the artwork is a piebald horse, distinctively marked with large, irregular patches of white and brown. The horse is harnessed to a lightweight, two-wheeled vehicle known as a breaking cart, which is designed for training horses.Seated in the cart is a woman dressed in attire from the early 20th century. She wears a vibrant red blouse, a dark green plaid skirt, and a fashionable black hat, lending an air of elegance and confidence to her demeanor. She holds the reins and a whip lightly in her hands, suggesting experience and ease in her role as a driver.The background of the painting is minimalistic, focusing attention on the figures and enhancing the crisp, clean lines and bold colors typical of Penfield's graphic style. The overall composition conveys a sense of calm and control, portraying the horse and driver in harmonious cooperation. The artist's signature, represented by a small red circle containing his initials, appears subtly in the bottom right corner, adding a personal touch to the work.

Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American poster artist, considered as the father of the American poster movement. He was employed as an art editor for Harper’s Weekly, Monthly, and Harper’s Bazaar, where he made posters advertising each issue of the magazine for over seven years. His art was avant-garde with less concern for the dramatic curving lines of Art Nouveau, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e block prints, figure drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, color lithographies by Jules Chéret, and other contemporary artists. He created simplified scenes of daily life in saturated colors, including horses, cats, sports, and women’s fashion.
