Himalayan Ponies is a 1875 oil by Vasily Vereshchagin, a Realism work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
In this painting, a small, light-brown pony stands in a grassy field, facing left. It wears a red and black saddle blanket and a bridle with a red noseband. The pony's mane is long and white, and it has a long tail. The background is a gray sky above a grassy field with some dead grass and weeds. The pony appears to be well-groomed, with a shiny coat and a well-maintained mane and tail. The saddle blanket is intricately patterned, with a red border and a black center. The bridle is simple, with a red noseband and a black headstall. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Vasily Vereshchagin.
Vasily Vasilyevich Vereshchagin (Russian: Васи́лий Васи́льевич Вереща́гин; 26 October 1842 – 13 April 1904) was a Russian painter, war artist, and traveller.
