Charming and luminous stable scene, oil on canvas by Alexandre Defaux (Paris, 1826 – 1900), French animal and landscape painter, student of Corot, regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon.
The composition depicts a dappled grey horse resting in a rustic stall, surrounded by hens and a rooster pecking at the golden straw on the ground. A saddle and harness hang from a wooden post in the foreground, a picturesque detail that anchors the scene in everyday peasant life. The stable's timber frame, rendered in warm shades of ochre and brown, is bathed in a soft, golden light characteristic of Defaux's style, inherited from the Barbizon school.
