An oil on board painting by R.G. Clifford, dated 1942. This work depicts a brown horse and a shaggy-coated animal, likely a donkey, within a stable interior featuring a brick wall. The composition is rendered in a naive or folk-art style, characterised by broad, textured brushwork and a flattened sense of perspective. The work is signed R.G. Clifford and dated 1942 in the lower right corner. The painting is housed in a dark-stained wooden frame with a decorative faux-grain finish and a gilt inner slip. The reverse of the piece shows the wooden support board and a hanging cord.
