About the piece

Painted around 1665 by Philips Wouwerman, this work demonstrates the artist's celebrated skill in depicting horses and everyday genre scenes. The composition is anchored by a luminous white horse amidst a bustling group of figures and animals, all sheltered beneath the heavy timber roof of a rustic stable as evening light filters through the clouds.
