Farm Horse is a 1820 by Horace Vernet, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two horses standing side by side under a simple wooden shelter. The horses are gray and white, with one wearing a bridle. The shelter has a rough, weathered look, with a stone wall behind it and a person partially visible inside. The ground is uneven, and a bird is perched nearby. The artist focused on the texture of the horses and the shelter, making them look real and solid. The lighting is soft, giving the scene a quiet, peaceful mood. Next, look up Horace Vernet.
Émile Jean-Horace Vernet (French pronunciation: ; 30 June 1789 – 17 January 1863), better known as Horace Vernet, was a French painter of battles, portraits, and Orientalist subjects.
