The Horse

A young woman in a pale blue gown stands beside a white horse beneath tall, gnarled trees, her hand reaching toward a small crouching figure at lower left. Loose watercolor washes and pen lines render the grey horse, flowing mane, and shadowed forest floor in soft, muted tones.

Español: El caballo, William Blake, 1805

Una joven con un vestido azul pálido está junto a un caballo blanco bajo árboles altos y retorcidos, con una mano cerca de una pequeña figura agachada en la parte inferior izquierda. Lavados de acuarela y trazos de tinta pintan el caballo gris, la melena ondulante y el suelo sombreado del bosque en tonos suaves y apagados.

Português: O cavalo, William Blake, 1805

Uma jovem de vestido azul-claro está ao lado de um cavalo branco sob árvores altas e retorcidas, com a mão próxima a uma pequena figura agachada no canto inferior esquerdo. Aguadas de aquarela e traços de tinta dão ao cavalo cinza, à crina ondulante e ao chão sombreado da floresta tons suaves e discretos.
