Yerres, Reddish Bay Horse in the Stable 1878

"Reddish Bay Horse in the Stable" is an oil painting by French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte, created in 1878. The artwork, a small-scale canvas, depicts a horse standing in a stable. The horse, rendered in a rich reddish-brown hue, is illuminated by soft, warm light, emphasizing its muscular form against the muted tones of the stable. Caillebotte's use of loose brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and energy, typical of the Impressionist style. The composition's simplicity and focus on the horse's anatomy showcase Caillebotte's interest in capturing the beauty of everyday subjects.
