About this work

This painting shows a row of horses tied together, standing close in a line. The background is a soft, warm blur of yellows and browns, like a sunset or dusty sky. The horses are dark, almost black, with some lighter patches on their backs and legs. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the horses look solid but the sky feel fuzzy. It’s like the artist hurried or wanted to show movement with quick strokes. Look up *impasto* next to see how thick paint like this is used.
