About the piece

Painted around 1878 by Anton Mauve, a leading figure of the Hague School, this work captures the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside. Three horses—two dark and one white—are depicted in a moment of stillness near a fence and a small brook, set against a backdrop of towering, leafless trees and a luminous, overcast sky.
