Maquignons (Horse Dealers) is a 1860 ink by John Lewis Brown, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows four men standing with three large horses in front of a dim, cluttered stable. The horses are black and white, their coats rough and textured. The men wear simple, dark clothes, and the stable behind them looks old, with beams and shadows adding depth. The title *Maquignons* (Horse Dealers) hints this scene might be about selling or trading horses. The artist used shading to make the textures pop, especially on the horses’ coats and the stable’s wood. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one create detailed prints.
