Interior of a Stable is a 1853 oil by Wouterus Verschuur, a Realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a dimly lit stable with horses and a man. The horses are brown and white, and the man is dressed in dark clothing. The stable is cluttered with hay and tools. In the foreground, a white horse stands out, wearing a harness. The man is standing next to the horse, possibly preparing it for work. The background of the painting is dark and shadowy, with hints of a doorway or archway. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures.
