About this work

This painting shows a single horse standing still in a field. The horse is mostly white with dark patches on its neck and shoulder. A bare tree stands to its left, and the sky above is cloudy with soft light. The artist used watercolor to paint smooth, blended tones—notice how the horse’s coat looks almost glowing. This style was common in the early 1800s. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists create depth with thin layers of paint.
