Woods and Equestrienne is a 1870 oil by Thomas R. Robinson, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a woman riding a horse through a wooded area. The woman is dressed in a long, dark dress and wears a hat, while the horse is dark brown with a white patch on its forehead. The trees surrounding them are tall and slender, with branches stretching upwards towards the sky. In the background, the trees become denser, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The overall mood of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness, inviting the viewer to step into the serene world of the woods. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who specialize in landscape paintings, such as Thomas R. Robinson.
