About the piece

Painted in 1786 by Johann Georg Pforr, this lively composition captures the activity of a rural horse market. The central focus is a powerful light-colored horse being presented, surrounded by observers in period attire, all rendered with the delicate light and atmosphere characteristic of the late 18th-century European tradition.
