This original artwork “Horses at their home” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Ekaterina Kebal  and is available for sale online

Ekaterina Kebal’s painting “Horses at Their Home” is a sketch of rural life, capturing a moment of tranquility and peace when animals return to the stable after a day’s work. The artist uses a muted, yet warm color palette and energetic strokes to convey the atmosphere of simplicity, naturalness, and connection between humans and nature.

At the center of attention of the painting are two horses standing in the doorway of the stable. One horse, depicted closer to the viewer, is turned away from us, which creates an effect of intrigue and makes you wonder what is hidden behind her back. The second horse, located in the depths of the stable, is only partially visible, which adds an element of mystery and understatement to the composition.

The horses are executed in dark tones, but at the same time, the artist uses various shades of brown, gray, and black to convey the volume and texture of the wool. It seems that the wool is soft and warm to the touch. Despite the fact that the horses are depicted statically, their strength and power can be felt.

The doorway of the stable, framing the horses, is made in light tones, which creates a contrast with the dark silhouettes of the animals and attracts attention to them. The walls of the stable are made of rough wood, which conveys a feeling of simplicity and naturalness of rural life. It is visible that the stable is old and dilapidated but at the same time reliable and strong.

Inside the stable, behind the horses, the outlines of other objects are guessed: haystacks, utensils, and possibly other animals. These details add an element of realism to the composition and tell about the life of the inhabitants of the stable.

In front of the stable, in the lower part of the painting, various objects are scattered: grass, hay, manure. This creates a feeling of natural disorder and emphasizes the prosaic nature of rural life.

Despite the absence of people in the painting, their presence is felt. It seems that the horses are being looked after, cared for, and created comfortable living conditions for them. The painting seems to speak of the close connection between humans and animals, of mutual respect and trust.

The artist uses the technique of Impressionism, focusing on conveying the overall impression of what is seen, rather than on the detailed rendering of each object. Broad, free strokes create a sense of movement and liveliness, as if the horses are stepping from foot to foot, and the air is filled with the scent of hay and earth.

Overall, the plot of the painting conveys a feeling of silence, peace, and harmony with nature. The painting seems to invite the viewer to look into the world of rural life, see its beauty and simplicity, feel the closeness to animals, and appreciate the labor of people working on the land. This canvas is about the modest charm of rural life, about the connection between humans and nature, and about the value of simple things.

The title of the painting, “Horses at Their Home,” emphasizes the importance of the place where animals feel safe and comfortable. The stable is not just a place to sleep, but a real home for the horses, where they are loved, cared for, and created conditions for their lives. The painting seems to say that everyone has the right to their own home, to their own territory, and to their own family.
