Paard in stal 1860 - 1885

"Paard in stal" (Horse in the Stable) is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Jan Vrolijk, created between 1860 and 1885, and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts a single horse standing in a stable, partially illuminated by a light source outside the frame. Vrolijk's meticulous detailing is evident in the textured depiction of the horse's coat and the wooden beams of the stable, adding realism to the scene. This work reflects the artist's interest in depicting everyday scenes with a focus on light and shadow.
