About this work

In the painting, five horses are depicted standing in a stable, facing away from the viewer. The horses are arranged in a row, with their heads turned towards the right side of the image. The stable's interior is visible, featuring a wooden structure with a sloping roof and a hay-covered floor. The horses' coats are rendered in various shades of brown, with the central horse appearing darker than the others. The stable's walls and floor are depicted in muted tones, with the hay on the floor adding a touch of warmth to the scene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the image, drawing the viewer's attention to the horses.
