About the piece
Created around 1650, this oil on panel painting by Philips Wouwerman captures a moment of intense energy and movement. A white horse (the 'gray' of the title) is shown bucking mid-stride, causing a scene amongst a group of travelers resting under large, leafy trees. Wouwerman was renowned for his skill in depicting horses and atmospheric landscapes, both of which are prominently showcased in this detailed work from the Dutch Golden Age.
