Horses and Foals is a 1750 watercolor by James Ward, a british_romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a simple farm scene with three horses and two foals. The horses stand near a wooden fence, while one foal lies on the ground. Behind them are rustic buildings with thatched roofs and a tall, pointed barn. The sky is pale with soft clouds, and the colors are muted, like earthy browns and grays. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture the animals and buildings. The watercolor looks a little faded, giving it a gentle, old feel.
