The White Horse

 

This painting is by the artist Mathieu Bassez.  It's Called "Prudence".  Mr. Bassez grew up in Ghent Flanders and started painting in his early teens.  At University he wrote a thesis about the Japanese artist Utamaro who painted every day scenes of Japanese life.  He ended up studying at Tokyo University of Fine Arts.  His recent works have revolved around the powerful form of both horses and women.  You can read more about him here.

I saw this painting in London at the Halcyon Gallery at Harrods.
