In another painting, After the Reins, the artist’s pony takes center stage striking a pose of impatient obedience. The landscape contrasts between spring and fall and the pastel-coloured palette emphasizes a sense of calmness like the animal’s own pensive personality. The horse has been a consistent symbol in art history, represented in equestrian monuments supporting historical leaders and painted by well-known artists of the avant-garde, and After the Reins contributes to this extensive history. In her painting, Mauritzson focuses on the physical beauty of her horse, which emphasizes the sense of a majestic existence.
