Oil on Masonite in the manner/style of Gertrude Abercrombie. A Blue Ribbon Horse - Untitled - (Stallion and Shed) is a replacement image of a shed with a window through which we see a female figure, representative of Abercrombie. A horse's head emerges from the right side of the building, while the horse's tail is seen on the left.
