About this work

Overview

Sabina, attributed to the artist known as 2708_person, is a mid‑nineteenth‑century photograph dating to around 1850. The image is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography and depicts a domestic equine scene within a modest wooden stable.

Subject & Meaning

The composition centers on a brown horse standing calmly inside the stall, its head gently turned toward the viewer. A simple rope halter encircles its neck, emphasizing the animal’s domesticated status. A second horse appears partially in the background, lending a sense of quiet activity and depth to the interior space.

Technique & Style

The photograph captures the rough texture of the dark plank walls, scattered hay, and a small window that admits muted daylight. A ladder leans against the left wall, adding a functional detail. The image’s tonal range and careful framing reflect the documentary style common to mid‑19th‑century ethnographic photography.

History & Provenance

Created circa 1850, the work entered the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings at an unspecified date. Its attribution to 2708_person remains based on museum records, and the piece has been preserved as part of the institution’s visual documentation of rural life.
