Meadow with a Black Horse Grazing, executed in 1854 by the artist identified as 536_person, is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The image captures a tranquil rural landscape, dominated by a stretch of tall grass and a narrow dirt track that cuts through the scene.

Subject & Meaning

In the foreground, two equine figures are positioned near the path: a dark horse, rendered in deep tones, and a lighter companion beside it. Beyond them, a line of trees frames the background, while a modest structure can be glimpsed partially hidden among the foliage, suggesting a simple agrarian setting.

Technique & Style

The work employs a soft, diffused illumination that gently blurs the edges of forms, lending the composition a calm, atmospheric quality. This approach, emphasizing the immediacy of everyday life over idealized representation, aligns with the emerging realist tendencies of the mid‑nineteenth century.
