Artist, Italian, 1825 - 1908

This is a drawing of a stable interior with two horses. The image depicts a rustic stable, where two horses are positioned within individual stalls, both feeding from mangers. The line work is intricate, with a crosshatching technique used to render the darkness and shadows of the stable interior. The foreground features uneven ground and a vertical beam as a partition between the areas occupied by the horses. The drawing's style emphasizes the texture and form of the horses as well as the wooden elements of the stable, imparting a sense of quiet, everyday life in a pastoral setting.
