About this work

In this painting, a man stands beside a white horse, facing another horse with a brown coat. The man wears a dark jacket, white pants, and a black hat. He has his back to the viewer. The horses are adorned with bridles and reins. The background features trees and a grassy area. The man's attire and the horses' equipment suggest a sense of preparation or anticipation, possibly for a journey or an event. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the scene. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who explored the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
