"In the Sand-pit" by Henry Keller shows an everyday scene from a sand pit. In the centre of the painting, we see a horse pulling a cart. The horse has a light coat, which stands out against the dark shadows around him. Behind the horse, the cart is partially visible, and there is a man busy loading or unloading the cart.
The surroundings are painted in earth tones, creating a realistic depiction of the sand quarry. Keller's use of light and shadow gives depth and texture to the work, while the loose brushstrokes suggest a dynamic, almost impressionistic style. The painting exudes a sense of calm and captures the simple beauty of an everyday working environment.
Henry George Keller (3 April 1869 - 3 August 1949) was an American artist who led a generation of Ohio watercolour painters from the Cleveland School. His canvases are distinguished more by the excellence of their technique and craftsmanship than by creative genius.
