White Horse on a Farm 1874

"White Horse on a Farm" is a watercolor painting by Camille Pissarro, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, created in 1874. The work depicts a rural scene featuring a white horse tethered to a farm building, perhaps a stable, against a background of a soft, ochre sky. This painting reflects Pissarro's interest in depicting everyday life and the changing light of the countryside, which he often captured using a loose and expressive brushstroke characteristic of Impressionism. This small painting captures a moment of tranquil daily activity, providing a glimpse into the rural life of the late 19th century.
