About this work

The painting depicts a black horse standing in a stable, with a man standing to its left. The horse is facing the man, who is holding a bridle in his hands. The stable is made of wood, with a window on the right side and a door on the left. The floor is covered with straw. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the horse's muscles and the man's clothing. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of calmness and serenity. The painting is an example of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and imagination. It is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
