A horse-drawn cart is the detail that sets this drawing apart from the other horse pictures on the board, since it places the animals at work rather than standing alone in a field. Artists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries often used charcoal for quick studies like this, valuing its soft tonal range for capturing the weight of animals and the texture of grass and rock. Mountain meadows in that period were working landscapes, where teams hauled hay, timber, and supplies over rough ground. The drawing shows how much a few smudged lines of charcoal can convey about both the labor and the open country.
