"Martin, the ice seller, and his draft horse, Larissa, see the world changing as cars replace horses for transportation and refrigeration reduces the need for ice deliveries to shops in the city" As he sits beside Larissa and her newborn foal, Martin thinks about all the ways in which horses have served people over the ages. Then he decides to move back to the mountains, to their old home, where people and horses still need each other. Glowing landscapes and big horses fill each spread, by this famous Austrian fine artist.
