Titled *The Farewell Caress*, this scene centers on a small, quiet gesture: a hand resting against a horse's neck at the moment of parting. Horses were everyday companions to farmers, drivers, and soldiers for much of the nineteenth century, and artists often drew on that closeness to show the bond between people and animals. Such images invite viewers to see the horse as more than a working animal. Notice the stillness of the pose, which carries much of the emotion.
