Watering Horses is a 1805 by Thomas Rowlandson, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this charming painting, a horse is being watered by a man, while another man sits on the horse's back. The scene is set in a quiet village, with a few buildings and trees in the background. The artist has used a range of earthy tones to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The painting is a great example of a genre scene, which was a popular style during the Romantic period. The artist has captured the everyday life of ordinary people, and the scene feels relaxed and informal.
