This beautiful painting depicts a crowded scene of a watering hole at a well in the midst of a sunny, hot day, located on the street of a provincial village supposedly located somewhere in the south of France. The beautiful, powerful horses in the foreground are dressed in harness for arable work and somewhat resemble a mixture of the Percheron and Andalusian breeds. While the horses are quenching their thirst, a young driver is talking with a girl who also came to the well for water. The artist managed to convey the mood of the animals on this hot day very realistically. Experience the culture of provincial France with this stunning painting, provides both a touch of rural charm and a sense of respite from the heat.
