Horse with Bells

A realistic pastel painting featuring the head and part of the neck of a working brown horse shown in profile against a light background. The horse wears a traditional leather collar adorned with multiple round jingle bells, each catching the sunlight and casting soft, dark shadows across its neck. The animal’s eye is hidden beneath leather blinders, emphasizing its calm strength and focus. The warm daylight and delicate play of light and shadow highlight the textures of leather, metal, and fur, creating a vivid, atmospheric portrait of rustic beauty and quiet dignity.
