(c) Horse Shoes u/f

A woman in a rust-coloured skirt tends to a horse at a forge, her small dog watching from below. The horse receives new shoes from the blacksmith’s fire, its form rendered with particular attention to musculature and posture. Warm ochres and deep browns dominate the composition, punctuated by the glow of the forge and metallic highlights on tools and horseshoes. The scene combines narrative detail with confident brushwork, capturing a moment of rural labour suffused with golden light. Oil on canvas, 665 × 905 mm.
