Landscape with Horses is a 1859 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene with simple lines. Two horses graze in a field near a small wooden house and barn. A fence runs along the left side, and a lone figure stands near a lamppost on the right, while another person walks in the foreground. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to show light and movement, especially in the wind-blown trees and grass. This style was new for its time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Whistler made prints like this.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
