"Two Horses Drinking" is a graphite drawing by British artist James Seymour, created sometime during his life (1697-1752). The artwork depicts two horses, saddled and bridled, bending down to drink from a trough. The detailed yet simplified depiction of the horses showcases Seymour's talent for capturing animal anatomy and movement. This drawing, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the artistic standards of the 18th century, where detailed realism and technical skill were highly valued.
