Sleeping Stable Boy with Witch and Horse
About this piece
In this peculiar scene, a stable boy is seen sleeping on the ground within a horse stable, clutching a pitchfork and a curry comb. Behind him, a horse, shown from the rear, turns its head to look at the viewer. To the right stands a witch, leaning over a small wall and waving a burning torch. A shield with a unicorn hangs on the wall.
