The artwork, titled “Horse drawn,” is an oil painting on canvas created by Honore Daumier. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and measures 40 by 60 centimeters. This animal painting is currently part of a private collection.
The artwork depicts a rustic scene in which a group of horses is laboriously pulling a cart across a rugged landscape. The sky, painted in somber tones, appears overcast, imbuing the scene with a melancholic atmosphere. The horses, rendered with dynamic brushstrokes, exude a sense of strength and weariness, embodying the toil of their labor. The lone figure guiding the horses is barely discernible amidst the swirling elements, emphasizing the raw and untamed forces of nature surrounding them. The bleak landscape and the determined efforts of the horses offer a poignant reflection on perseverance amidst adversity.
