This stunning watercolor and graphite on paper piece, housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases the intricate decorative details of a traditional American saddle. The saddle, a functional yet decorative item essential for horse riding, is depicted with an impressive level of detail and precision.
