About the piece

Painted in 1660 by the Dutch master Philips Wouwerman, this work captures a rest stop during a journey. Known for his exceptional ability to depict horses, Wouwerman showcases a variety of breeds and postures against a luminous, atmospheric sky. The scene is full of life, from the weary travelers to the small figures bathing in the distance, characteristic of the Golden Age's interest in everyday narrative.
