東海道五十三次 石薬師|Ishiyakushi is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a lively scene of people and horses gathered around a building. The building has a sloping roof and a large tree stands beside it. Several men are busy with various activities, while horses are being tended to. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene body of water. In the foreground, the men are engaged in different tasks, adding to the sense of activity and energy in the scene. The horses, too, seem to be the center of attention, with some being led or groomed. This painting is a great example of the Romanticism movement.
