About the piece

Painted in 1887, this work showcases Rosa Bonheur's celebrated skill in capturing the power and grace of animals. Three horses—a bay, a white, and a dappled grey—are depicted in meticulous detail as they pause on a country path, bathed in the soft, natural light of a clear afternoon. Known for her naturalism, Bonheur creates a scene that is both technically precise and atmosphere-rich.
