Héreau depicts the watering of horses before they commence the day’s work. This canvas is painted in the popular style of en plein air painting of the 1860s, with loose brush strokes and a sense of movement appropriate to the subject. It is the kind of work and loose finish that was considered appropriate in a sketch, but not tolerated in a full-scale work intended for sale, or the walls of the salon.
