Carrying Horse 1892

"Carrying Horse" is a pastel drawing by Ilya Repin, completed in 1892. Depicting a single horse and its handler against a sweeping, colorful sky, the artwork showcases Repin's masterful use of line and color. The piece captures the weariness of a hardworking animal and the dedication of its owner, highlighting the relationship between man and beast. The drawing's small size, just 24 x 32 cm, reinforces its intimate and personal nature, a glimpse into Repin's exploration of everyday life in Russia.
