Two Horses is a 1897 oil by Rosa Bonheur, a Impressionism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene scene of two horses standing in a field, with one horse appearing to be led by a person sitting on its back. The horses are rendered in warm, earthy tones, with the leading horse being a darker brown and the other a lighter grey-brown. The background of the painting is a soft, hazy landscape with rolling hills and trees. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the painting, with the horses' coats and the surrounding foliage being particularly well-defined. The overall mood of the painting is one of calmness and tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful scene.
