You see a dark shed with horses and a man in the painting. The shed is dimly lit, which makes the scene feel quiet. The horses seem to be waiting for something, and the man is working on one of them. Check out the technique of chiaroscuro to learn more about how artists use light and dark to create mood in their work.
