“Stable at Cuenca” is an oil painting on board created by John Singer Sargent in 1903. The artwork, which measures 57.15 x 72.07 cm, belongs to the Impressionism art movement and is categorized as an animal painting.
The composition of the artwork portrays an interior scene of a dimly lit stable filled with animals, likely horses or mules, that are partially obscured by shadows. Sunlight penetrates through small windows, casting highlights on various subjects and objects within the space. The brushwork is vigorous and expressive, characteristic of the Impressionist style, with broad strokes that convey a sense of movement and texture. The overall mood of the artwork is serene and rustic, capturing the essence of rural life in Cuenca. The dynamic use of light and shadow, combined with the textured application of paint, creates a vivid and lively representation of an everyday scene in a stable.
