Horse Stable is a 1886 oil by Jan Stobbaerts, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting shows the interior of a horse stable. The room is dimly lit, with horses standing in stalls. A person is visible in the background, but their features are not clear. The scene is depicted in muted colors, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The overall atmosphere is one of quietness and stillness, with the horses appearing calm and serene. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
