Horses at Cottage Door

Conrad Gessner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures and a horse closely grouped together. One person is beside the horse holding its bridle, while the other is mounted on the horse. A dog is near the person on the ground. A thatched building with an open door is to the left. The scene has a monochromatic, sepia-like palette. In the distance to the right, there are small thatched rooftops surrounded by trees.
