Dead Horse

Théodore Gericault

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a winter landscape with a fallen horse in the foreground, surrounded by snow. There are farm structures to the left, a bare tree, and a broken wheel partially buried in snow. Birds are flying above in the sky, adding to the wintery scene. The scene is depicted in shades of gray, white, and black, creating a cold and desolate atmosphere.
