Two Horses in a Meadow Near a Gate (Paulus Potter) Playing Cards

This design features a painting by the Dutch artist Paulus Potter (1625–1654), who specialised in depicting animals. This artwork shows two horses in a meadow near some trees and a wooden gate. One of horses has a white coat, while the other horse is dark brown in colour. The brown horse appears to be frightened, while the white horse is standing by the trees watching the other horse. Both horses have long tails and manes. Their ears are pricked up. In the background, there is a cloudy sky with some birds flying through the air, and there are some cows and other animals in the distant fields. The original artwork was painted in 1649.
