About the piece
Created in 1895 by artist Jozef Hanula, this oil study captures the soulful character of a horse named Negro. The work is a prime example of late 19th-century naturalism, focusing on the subtle textures of the horse's coat and the intelligent gleam in its eye. Its minimal, earthy background allows the subject to command the viewer's attention, making it a sophisticated addition to any traditional or modern setting.
