English School 19th Century / Marshal-ferrand / Oil On Canvas

This late 19th-century English painting captures an iconic "Farrier" scene popularized by Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873), a master of animal realism. The work depicts a man busy with a horse, probably shoeing or grooming its hooves, in a stable filled with a donkey and a dog. Natural light streaming through the barn opening highlights the textures of the coats and the warm atmosphere of this rural scene.
