Tethered Horse 1881

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Tethered Horse" (1881) portrays a single white horse standing in a stable. The artist's signature bold brushstrokes and impressionistic style give the painting a sense of movement, even though the horse is stationary. The painting highlights Toulouse-Lautrec's interest in capturing everyday moments and scenes from the lives of ordinary people, particularly those associated with the Parisian nightlife and its social classes. The horse's calm demeanor and the simplicity of the scene contribute to the overall impression of quiet contemplation.
