The Old White Horse is a 1682 oil by Dirck van der Bergen, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a white horse standing in a forest clearing. It's looking to the right, with its head slightly raised. In the background, there are trees and hills under a blue sky with clouds. A few other animals are around the horse, including a brown cow and some sheep. The horse is the main focus of the painting, and it's depicted in a lot of detail. The artist has used different shades of white to show the texture of its fur and the shape of its muscles. The background is more muted, with softer colors that help the horse stand out. The artist who painted this is Dirck van der Bergen.
