About the piece
Painted in 1918, this atmospheric work by Alfred Munnings captures a moment of quiet activity at nightfall during the First World War. Known for his masterful depictions of horses, Munnings uses a somber, tonal palette to convey the heavy, damp environment of the field, with the figures and animals rendered in confident, impressionistic brushstrokes that catch the fading light.
