Horsemen by an Inn

Dominant colour
Horsemen by an Inn is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white scene shows a small stone inn with a slanted roof. Outside, three riders on horseback stop near the building, while two people sit at a table under a striped awning. A dog lies on the ground near the fence, and another person stands nearby. The trees in the background look dense and slightly blurry. The painting’s soft lighting and shadowy details make the scene feel quiet and lived-in. The horses and riders add a sense of movement, even though the overall mood stays calm. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
