About this work

This painting shows three donkeys and a horse tied to a post. The horse looks ready to bolt, its muscles tight. The donkeys stand calm in the background. The artist used sharp light and deep shadows to make the scene feel dramatic. You can almost hear the horse snort. The details in the fur and ropes feel real. This work feels like a snapshot of old farm life. Check out 1131_person next.
