About the piece
Painted around 1655, this oil on panel by Philips Wouwerman showcases the artist's renowned skill in depicting horses and rural life. The composition masterfully balances the heavy, grounded activity of the harvest against a vast, atmospheric sky that dominates the upper half of the work, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
