Chateau and Horses

"Chateau and Horses" depicts a lively scene grounded in genre painting traditions, capturing everyday life with warmth and simplicity. The painting showcases a rustic chateau in the background, accompanied by a team of horses, highlighting rural themes and a connection to Naïve art (primitivism).
