The artwork, titled “Cherub and Horse,” was created by Andy Warhol in 1956. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is classified within the figurative genre.
In the artwork, a cherub-like figure is depicted riding a blue horse. The cherub has blue curly hair and is adorned with a green sash across the torso. This figure stands atop the horse, which is portrayed in a simplistic and stylized manner characteristic of Naïve Art. The cherub holds two arrows in one hand and is surrounded by a whimsical, almost playful aura. The horse is rendered in minimalist lines and features, emphasizing a sense of innocence and fantasy. The color palette is restrained, predominantly using shades of blue and touches of green, enhancing the overall whimsical and dreamlike quality of the piece.
