A donkey in a yard 

This painting by Mariano Fortuny Marsal, a Spanish painter known for his genre scenes and Orientalist subjects, depicts a donkey standing in a yard. The donkey, painted in a warm brown hue, stands next to a wooden fence, while a bright yellow building and a dark shadowed area occupy the background. The artist utilizes a loose and impressionistic style, capturing the fleeting moment with a sense of realism. The work likely reflects Fortuny’s fascination with everyday life in Spain and the simplicity of rural settings.
