About the piece
Created in 1917, this oil painting by John Noble captures a quiet moment of labor at a shoreline ford. The artist employs a confident, impressionistic technique, using broad brushstrokes and a harmonious palette of indigo and mauve to render the white horse and its reflection in the shallow water.
