About this work
A horse's head and body hang inverted across the left half of the canvas, muzzle reaching toward the bottom edge, its flank rendered as an exposed reddish-maroon mass of flesh. At right, a human figure appears as a loose outlined contour in black, pink and magenta, arms bent as if performing the slaughter, with sketched rooftops and handwritten Russian text along the top edge.
The picture mixes painting and drawing: the horse is built in thick, blended strokes of maroon, ochre and grey, while the figure and background stay as bare, gestural line work on unpainted canvas. Diluted red paint drips down the surface like streaked blood, giving the raw, unresolved scene a stark, unsettling charge.
