About the piece

Painted in 1865 by French artist Évariste-Vital Luminais, this work depicts a serene yet powerful scene of horses drinking at a natural pool. The low horizon and expansive, heavy sky highlight Luminais' mastery of atmospheric light and his ability to convey the majestic, grounding presence of animals in the landscape.
