This sketch shows a beach scene with a dead horse lying on the sand, its red blanket still draped over it. Nearby, a dog and a cat are gathered around the body, while two seagulls circle overhead. In the distance, a few small figures stand near the water’s edge, and the sky is pale with faint clouds. The painting feels loose and quick, like a rough sketch rather than a finished work. The artist used light washes of color, letting the paper show through in places. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
