This painting depicts two horses standing in a field, with one horse facing left and the other facing right. The horses are painted in shades of brown and white, with visible brushstrokes that give the impression of movement. The background of the painting is a muted green color, which helps to focus attention on the horses. The horses appear to be in a natural setting, with no signs of human presence or artificial structures. The artist's use of color and brushwork creates a sense of energy and spontaneity, as if the horses are about to move or run. The artist, Włodzimierz Tetmajer, was a Polish painter known for his landscapes and animal paintings. This sketch is a great example of his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.
