Horses in a Pasture

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a horse lying in the foreground with two other standing horses further back. In the background, there are trees, a high horizon with sparse clouds, and a flock of distant birds. The artwork has intricate etching techniques depicting detailed textures. The color palette is monochromatic with varying degrees of black and white. A small animal, possibly a dog, is curled up near the horse in the center-left area.
