Men Shoeing a Horse

Walter Shirlaw

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a stable scene with animals and objects. The sketch depicts a stable or barn area with a human figure near an animal, a horse, buckets, and a large circular object leaning against the wall. In the foreground, two small dogs are lounging on the ground. The drawing is in a monochromatic palette, using shading and lines for depth and texture in an expressive, informal style.
