KEYWORD
TITLE
'Paysages à cheval' (1872, British Museum). 1
'Paysage au Cheval' (1874, Ralph Thomas, Jr (1840-1876)). 2
'The Landscape with the Horse' (1886, Frederick Wedmore (1844-1921)). 3
'The Meadow' (1909, Howard Mansfield (1849-1938)). 4
'Landscape with the Horse' (1910, Edward Guthrie Kennedy (1849-1932)). 5
'Landscape with Horses' (2010, Whistler Etching Project).
Several of the impressions of the first state are annotated with the title 'Paysage au cheval', possibly basing this on Thomas's title. However, there are actually two horses in the final state, not to mention a workman up the pole. 'Landscape with Horses' is therefore the preferred title.
