Herring’s horse seems reluctant to accept whatever the uniformed soldier is offering it, either food or affection. Neither seems at ease; it is not a natural moment between them. They are stiff without being statuesque. It is perfectly possible that I’m being unfair about it. It’s true that there is almost a hallucinatory quality to the way that every detail about the horse, the soldier, and the landscape are rendered with equal attention. But it seems that the point is that this unsaddled horse belongs in the human sphere in a way that Stubbs’s saddled horse never could." | |||||||||||||||||||||||
