You see three riders stopped in a rocky mountain pass, their horses drinking from a stream while a fourth horse pees in the foreground. The artist added small jokes: a dog sniffs the peeing horse, and another dog watches a man who might be about to sneeze. These little moments make the scene feel alive, like a snapshot of real travel. To see more everyday scenes like this, explore the Rijksmuseum.
