This is a striking painting of a horse with a white marking on his back. Unfortunately we do not know the name of the horse but he is presented in a beautiful landscape with barns and houses in the background. McAuliffe was an Irish immigrant who came to America and began working as a house painter. He hung around the tracks a little too much and became noted as a horse artist.
WHY WE LOVE IT: You can never go wrong with a horse painting in any room!
