This painting depicts three massive draft horses, majestically posed in an open field, under a soft, cloudy sky. The artist captures the sturdiness and power of the horses through the use of earthy colors and pinches of light, contrasting with the light background. The animals are depicted in harmony, with simple harnessing, emphasizing their indispensable role in agricultural work. Their imposing silhouettes dominate the scene, imbued with silent tranquility and noble strength. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and relief to their musculature, reflecting an intimate understanding of their physical presence. The movement subtly suggested by the fluid contours evokes the latent dynamism of the beasts, ready for action. This work perfectly captures the essence of the rural world, revealing the symbiosis between man, animal and nature. This piece has an attribution mark,
