Cal is a 1850 unspecified by Wouterus Verschuur, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Equu Caballu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting features a brown horse with a white mane and a black harness, facing left. The horse is set against a brown background, which is lighter on the right side. The horse's body is rendered in warm, earthy tones, with visible brushstrokes that give the painting a textured quality. The harness and bridle are depicted in darker shades, adding depth to the composition. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of volume and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the horse's form.
