Maqbool Fida Husain (1915–2011), Untitled (Galloping Horses), Oil On Canvas.

The composition depicts a dynamic group of galloping horses rendered in angular, faceted forms. The figures are arranged in overlapping positions, their bodies constructed from sharp geometric planes that create a strong sense of movement and energy across the surface.

Multiple horses appear in varied tones of green, white, ochre, and blue, set against a densely layered background of abstract, jagged shapes in contrasting colours. Bold outlines and segmented forms define the contours of the animals, while the diagonal arrangement enhances the rhythm of the composition.

The surface is executed in rich, saturated hues with visible brushwork. A signature appears in the lower corner. Presented within a frame.

Approximately 88.7 x 64cm
