The French Blacksmith

Théodore Géricault

Cleveland Museum of Art

The French blacksmith. A man is showing a horse's hoof to the viewer, horse still standing on all four legs. The horse is dark-colored with a white patch on its forehead; it has a saddle on its back and a bridle on its head, attached to a rope on the ground. The man wears a white head covering, a white shirt, and a vest; he bends one leg. A bucket sits on the ground to his right. There is another horse in the background, facing away. The scene takes place in a stable or barn with wooden fencing and a visible doorway with a person leaning on a table. The image is in black and white.
