This painting shows a man lying on the ground, dead, with a gun in his hand. He's wearing a white shirt with a blue sash and brown pants. A brown horse with a saddle is standing next to him, sniffing his head. The background is a green field with hills in the distance, under a blue sky with white clouds. The man's body is stretched out on the ground, with his head near the horse's feet. The horse is looking down at him, as if checking on him. The scene is peaceful, but also sad because the man is dead. Look up the artist Antônio Parreiras.
