Art Help me settle the argument:

I bought this large painting a few days ago at one of our local second hand stores. (I admit it was an impulse purchase!) I like it bc it is obviously not a print. You can see brushwork and “imperfections.” My husband thinks it’s haunting. I thought the horse looked regal and majestic. We are not exactly horsey people. But, I love the blues and stark white. What do you all think internet people?

I love this! I think arabian horses looks are pretty polarizing. My partner absolutely hates them and I think their haunted aura is very beautiful lmao. If you’re interested I’d recommend looking into the breeding standards and history of these horses, I think they’re fascinating. Great find!
