About the piece

Painted around 1795 by renowned British animalier Sawrey Gilpin, this work captures a serene interaction between mares and their young. The artist's mastery of equine anatomy and natural light is evident in the subtle highlights on the horses' coats against the soft, low-light horizon of the English countryside.
