Horses in a field with gypsies and a caravan is a 1874 oil by Eyre Crowe, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a group of horses standing in a field. There's a caravan and some gypsies in the background. The horses are the main focus, and they're painted in earthy tones. The artist has used a lot of brown and green to create a natural scene. The horses seem to be looking at something off to the side, and the gypsies are gathered around the caravan. It's a peaceful scene, with no sense of drama or tension. If you like this painting, you might want to check out more works by the artist, Eyre Crowe.
