The Resting Horseman is a 1645 oil by Louis Le Nain, a French Classical Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man sitting on the ground, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a dark jacket. He has a small white dog beside him. To his right is a brown horse with its head turned towards him. In the background, there are three people standing together, including a woman carrying a large pot on her head. The scene is set in a rural landscape with rolling hills and a cloudy sky. The artist has used warm colors to create a sense of comfort and tranquility in the scene. The man's relaxed posture and the horse's gentle gaze add to the peaceful atmosphere.
