About the piece

Painted in 1864 by Finnish artist Magnus von Wright, this work depicts four horses gathered by a watering hole. The artist masterfully renders the contrasting textures of their coats—from the luminous white to the deep bay—against a soft, atmospheric sky. This scene of peaceful companionship is a classic example of 19th-century animalier painting, offering a grounding and timeless presence for traditional interiors.
