John Burnet’s “Sketch of Watering Horses” is a small ink drawing, dating from circa 1847. The drawing depicts a man watering horses in a shallow body of water, with a distant landscape behind. Burnet’s use of line to sketch the horses and man, as well as the distant landscape, captures the essence of the scene. The drawing exemplifies Burnet’s skill as a draftsman and provides a glimpse into his artistic process. The work is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
