Description
In the relative coolness of a barn's interior, a woman grooms her horse, brushing him slowly but steadily. Grooming a horse promotes trust and bonding between the animal and the groomer. Additionally, horses that spend much of their time in a stable or barnyard may not have the chance to rub against fences and trees to groom themselves effectively. They depend on humans to keep their skin and coats clean and healthy. Here sunlight falls on the figures from outside, creating near silhouettes; the play of light and shadow simplifies the scene and allows us to concentrate on the love and patience both subjects exhibit.
