[Artist's comments]Excerpted
Comforting his beloved and suffering horse
What impressed me so powerfully about this scene was the compassion of the main character in the picture. Possibly mortally wounded himself, he bore his own pain to remove his horse's saddle and other gear, doing what he could to alleviate the horse's suffering.
