About the piece
This masterfully executed oil on panel by Abraham van Calraet depicts two saddled horses—a bay in profile and a grey facing forward—patiently waiting under a tree. The work showcases the artist's skill in capturing the varied textures of animal coats and the soft, atmospheric light characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age.
