This remarkable original 2004 oil on canvas painting by award-winning Michigan artist Marlan Winter Cotner captures the elegance and tranquility of an equestrian scene. Signed by the artist and titled Yearling Auction, the composition depicts horses being led gently by their bridles alongside their owners in a serene, pastoral setting.

Cotner’s mastery of light and detail is evident as golden sunlight filters through the trees, casting elongated shadows across the landscape. Rendered in a soothing palette of greens, golds, and earthy browns, the scene features three horses—one a warm chestnut, the other two a deeper brown—standing gracefully as the central focus. The artwork is beautifully complemented by a substantial chunky gold guilt wooden frame, enhancing its timeless appeal and making it a striking centerpiece for any collection.
