About the piece

Created in 1873, this evocative watercolor by a young Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures the noble form of a bay horse. The work demonstrates the artist's early mastery of anatomy and light, utilizing fluid brushstrokes and a warm, earthy palette to define the subject against a soft, atmospheric background.
