WATERING THE HORSES
Height, 8½ inches; length, 11 inches
In the foreground, strongly illuminated by full sunshine, three horses stand near a shallow pool of water, the nearest one white, the other two gray and brown respectively. On the latter sits a peasant wearing a blue blouse and holding a whip in his hand. In the distance the open field is bounded by an irregular hedge of trees of various sorts, extending nearly to the top of the picture.
Signed at the lower left, Ch. Jacque.
