Landscape with Horses

About this work

This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with a big tree in the center. Underneath it, three horses—one brown, one gray, and one black—stand or graze near a small figure. In the distance, more trees line a gently rolling hill, and a few sheep dot the landscape. The colors are soft, mostly greens and browns with a pale sky. The artist used light washes of watercolor to blend the trees and sky, giving the scene a gentle, dreamy feel. This painting is small and delicate, like a snapshot of a peaceful moment.
