Reindeer and Horse's Head

Renne et tête de cheval
10847

The highly simplified outline of this horse contrasts the horses on the Panel of the Horses a few metres away, where the outlines display greater finesse. The reindeer displays the distinctive characteristics of the species: antlers curving strongly forwards and a large dewlap under the throat. Its front left leg has been erased with the flat of a hand.
