Wild Horses

Henry Bernard Chalon

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with two horses, one bending down and the other looking alert. The horizon is high with trees and hills in the distance. The composition has detailed brushstrokes capturing the horses and trees with fluid lines and light shading. The color scheme is black and gray, giving the drawing a classic black-and-white aesthetic. There are shrubs and grass in the foreground leading to the horses, with wooded hills in the background.
