Few pictures on this board pair a horse and men so directly with a tropical backdrop, and this ink and wash sketch captures that encounter in quick, loose strokes. Scenes like it were common in Cuba during the nineteenth century, when horses carried goods, drove livestock, and moved people along rural roads and estates. Artists working in the Caribbean often recorded this everyday labor, and sketches made on the spot tend to keep the immediacy of their moment, which is part of the appeal of this one.
