Hevosenkengittäjät is an unspecified by Juho Rissanen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows two people working with a horse in an outdoor setting. One person, dressed in a blue apron and cap, holds the horse’s head while the other, wearing a white shirt and dark pants, examines the horse’s hoof. The background has a simple wooden fence, and the colors are mostly earthy with some bright patches of light. The artist used bold brushstrokes to show texture, especially in the horse’s coat and the clothing. This makes the scene feel real and alive. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Juho Rissanen (1873–1950) was an artist, born in Kuopio.
