Title

Ferry Horses, c1864. Creator: Jules Jacques Veyrassat.

Caption

Ferry Horses, c1864. Veyrassat painted with watercolour in a way that has become popular today. He applied transparent washes of colour to the page in a looser style than many of his contemporaries. He may have seen early 19th-century watercolours by British artists who experimented with this technique.
