This gentle scene captures a young horse at rest, surrounded by a dreamy haze of soft pinks. Though separated by walls, the Boy — hands planted firmly on his hips — seems to be animatedly chatting to the horse, his posture alive with energy.
It is perhaps the most expressive we see him, caught mid-conversation with an animal whose stillness contrasts his liveliness. What could he be saying? The painting lingers in that unspoken space — where innocence, imagination, and companionship meet.
