About this work

In a dimly lit stable, a horse stands facing left, its white coat illuminated by a faint light source. To the right, a man in a red jacket and white pants leans against a wooden beam, holding a broom. A woman in a white shirt and dark skirt walks towards him, carrying a bundle of straw. The stable's interior is cluttered with hay, chickens, and a pigeon perched on a beam. The painting's warm tones and soft lighting create a sense of intimacy and tranquility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the horse's coat and the rustic surroundings. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Louis Van Kuyck, who often depicted scenes of everyday life with a focus on light and shadow.
