Landscape with Horses Drinking is a 1876 ink by Charles Volkmar, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two horses drinking from a shallow, rippling pond. Tall trees with thick trunks and leafy branches surround them, casting shadows on the water. The scene looks quiet, with no people around—just the horses and the natural setting. The artist used fine lines to show texture, like the water’s surface or the horses’ fur. This kind of printmaking is called etching, where lines are scratched into a metal plate. Next, look up etching to see how artists create these detailed prints.
Charles Volkmar (1841–1914) was an American artist, born in Baltimore.
