Landscape with two horses is a 1790 watercolor by Robert Hills, a british_romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Two horses stand on a rocky cliff by the sea. The sky is pale with soft clouds, and the waves crash below. One horse is light gray, the other a mix of brown and white. A simple wooden fence runs along the edge of the cliff. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, letting the watercolor blend into soft shapes. The horses look calm, but the wind in their manes suggests movement. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists used nature to show big emotions.
