1877

About this work

This painting shows a group of figures on horseback, dressed in dark coats with bright red hats. They’re riding through a hazy, muddy landscape with a faint outline of buildings in the distance. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the scene a textured, almost unfinished look. The title is simply *1877*, which might hint at a historical event or year—but the painting itself doesn’t show clear details. The horses and riders look like soldiers, though the artist didn’t focus on realism. Next, look up equu caballu to see how horses were depicted in older art.
