Stable Yard with Horses — Thomas Rowlandson

Best known as a satirist, Rowlandson here applies line and wash in a naturalistic fashion to represent a busy stable yard where horses feed on hay outside a large barn near pigs. The artist shows the animals interacting in ways that suggest sociable conversation.
