"Zampa" (1840s), by Danish painter Fritz Thomsen, is a depiction of a black stallion in a stable. The horse, named "Zampa", is the focal point of the painting, standing confidently in a stall. A stable boy, holding a bucket, stands to the side. The artist captures the horse's powerful build and the stable's earthy atmosphere, using realistic detail and natural light. This painting is a fine example of Thomsen's animalistic style, which was popular in the mid-19th century.
