About the piece

Painted in 1908, this oil study by John Singer Sargent showcases the artist's extraordinary ability to capture light and form with rapid, confident strokes. The composition features a cluster of horses at Palma, Mallorca, where the interplay of brilliant highlights on white coats and deep shadows creates a sense of immediate, vibrant life characteristic of Sargent's masterly late Impressionist style.
