Cart Horses at a Drinking Trough is a 1767 oil by Thomas Gainsborough, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows two horses drinking from a trough, their heads bent down and their ears relaxed. A man in a hat and vest stands behind them, holding the reins of the horse closest to him. The horses are brown and white, and the man is dressed in earthy tones. The scene is set in a natural environment, with trees and foliage visible in the background. The overall mood is one of calmness and serenity, with the horses and the man seemingly at ease.
