About the piece

This 1675 oil painting by Johann Heinrich Roos captures a quiet moment in a vaulted stable, where a pale horse is spotlighted by natural light. In the foreground shadows, children engage with a goat and dog, adding a sense of everyday life to the masterful composition of stone ruins and animal forms.
