About the piece

Painted in 1918 by Sir Alfred Munnings, this work captures a scene of log loading in a dim, atmospheric woodland. Renowned for his mastery of equestrian subjects, Munnings depicts the draft horses with remarkable physical presence and character. The palette of deep greens and earthy browns creates a grounded, somber tone typical of his wartime forest studies.
