About the piece
Painted in 1886, this striking study of a horse demonstrates Vincent van Gogh’s evolving technique during his residence in Paris. The artist utilizes thick, rhythmic brushstrokes and a high-contrast palette to imbue the animal with a sense of sculptural form and quiet vitality. Set against a moody, deep blue backdrop, the work serves as a masterful example of late 19th-century Post-Impressionist exploration of light and movement.
