Two Draft Horses

Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two horses standing in a stable. The drawing shows a pair of horses, one dark and one lighter in color, tethered within a stable setting. The horses are dressed in harnesses and standing side by side. The artist has used shading and texture to depict details such as the musculature of the horses and their harnesses. The background is softly rendered, hinting at a wall or barrier in the stable.
