A herd of horses 1909

Zinaida Serebriakova's "A Herd of Horses," painted in 1909, is a striking example of the artist's interest in depicting nature and rural life. The painting showcases a group of horses grazing in a field, their dark forms contrasting with the vibrant green landscape. Serebriakova's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and realism to the scene, capturing the tranquility of the moment. The horses' natural poses and the peaceful setting convey a sense of harmony between nature and the animals. The painting is a testament to Serebriakova's ability to translate her observations of the natural world into compelling and evocative artwork.
