plainweave linen fabric. It has been glue-lined and

abraded and UV fluorescence shows some old 
retouches under the thick yellowed varnish.

This companion piece to Landscape with a White
Horse Grazing (NM 69, cat. no. 27) shows a
saddled white horse in front of an open arch
with two donkeys and a man. To the left of the
horse stand a man and a woman with a cock in
her arms, in what seems to be a cave. The horse is
identical to the one depicted in NM 69, and the
man corresponds to the man shown in the same
painting. The light comes from the left, and the
angle of the light in combination with the warm
colour tone indicates twilight or at least a late
hour of the day. For a discussion of the attribution
to Michelangelo Cerquozzi, see NM 68 and
NM 69 (cat. nos. 26–27).
