Horses

Alfred Stieglitz

1904

The image shows a street view of a winter scene. It features a snow-covered road with a horse-drawn carriage moving towards the viewer. The horizon is obscured by a snowstorm, blending the sky with the snowy elements. Tall buildings are seen on the right side, gradually fading into the distance. The brushstrokes in the image give a soft, blurred effect, resembling early photographs. The color palette is monochromatic in grayscale tones, highlighting the cold environment. The snow is depicted as thick and mushy, with tracks from previous vehicles visible. In the background, other carriages and figures can be faintly seen through the falling snow.

The atmosphere conveys anticipation and excitement as the race unfolds. The photograph has a monochromatic tone.
