Caballo atado a un poste

Eugène Delacroix, hacia 1820

This is a painting of a red horse standing on a patch of tan ground, tethered by a rope to a tall brown post. The horse's reddish-brown coat is rich and glossy, with white highlights. It faces the left, with its ears pricked up. One of its back legs is slightly raised. The ground behind the horse is flat, with patches of yellow ochre, brown, and dark green. The sky above is a mix of blue tones, with light blue near the horizon and darker blue-green at the top of the painting. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and visible.
