Landscape with Horses in Foreground n.d.

This pen-and-ink drawing by Sawrey Gilpin, dating from the 18th century, depicts a landscape with horses. The artist, known for his depictions of animals, captures the horses in a moment of repose, one lying down while the other stands nearby. The scene is set in a rural landscape with a distant view of hills and trees, typical of the artist's style. This intimate portrayal of nature reflects Gilpin's interest in capturing the beauty and character of animals in their natural environment. The drawing, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers viewers a glimpse into the artist's keen observation and skilled hand.
