Bacarolle 1834 - 1872

"Bacarolle" is a painting by Danish artist Fritz Thomsen, depicting a horse in a stable. The artwork was created between 1834 and 1872 and is currently part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The painting showcases Thomsen's interest in realism and animal portraiture, capturing the horse's physical presence and the details of its surroundings. The horse is the central focus, standing calmly in a stable stall, while two figures, likely a groom and a gentleman, observe it from a distance. The hay on the floor and the wooden beams of the stable further contribute to the sense of realism in the work.
