About the piece

Commissioned during the First World War, this evocative work by Alfred Munnings captures a moment of quiet repose for a Canadian trooper. The artist's renowned ability to depict the form and spirit of horses is on full display, rendered with fluid, confident brushstrokes against a soft, twilight sky. The painting serves as both a poignant historical record and a timeless tribute to the enduring bond between soldier and horse.
