Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

The image shows two horses standing near us. One horse is brown and the other is a light color. The horizon line is visible behind the horses, with a slightly elevated terrain in earthy tones. The sky above is blue with patches of clouds. The painting features loose and expressive brushstrokes, giving it an impressionistic feel. The color palette includes earthy greens, blues, and softer shades for the horses. Trees are depicted to the left of the horses with vertical strokes. The scene conveys a calm rural life.
