Jaroslav Augusta — Feeding Horses
The small painting on paper depicts two men dressed in folk costumes (shepherds or farmers) at a horse water trough. One of them is leaning on a staff which can also be a folk musical instrument (a pipe, horn or a trembita). The other one, seemingly older, is leaning on a smaller staff (a pickaxe), smoking a pipe.
