Wallabrook Ford, Dartmoor, England is a 1896 oil by Thomas Allen, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting depicts a serene scene of a horse and rider crossing a shallow stream, with the horse's head bent down to drink. The rider sits calmly, dressed in dark attire, while the horse is predominantly white with a dark tail and mane. In the background, rolling hills stretch out under a cloudy sky. The artist has used a muted color palette to convey the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The brushstrokes are smooth, with no visible texture or impasto.
