"Donkey at Rest" is a notable painting by the British artist James Ward, who was renowned for his animal portraits and landscapes during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1820, this work exemplifies Ward's exceptional ability to capture the essence and character of his animal subjects, a skill that earned him significant acclaim during his career.

James Ward (1769–1859) was a prominent figure in the British art scene, particularly known for his detailed and expressive depictions of animals. His works often reflected the Romantic movement's fascination with nature and the sublime. Ward's background as an engraver and his training under the tutelage of his brother-in-law, the famous engraver John Raphael Smith, significantly influenced his meticulous approach to painting.

"Donkey at Rest" portrays a donkey in a tranquil, natural setting, embodying a sense of calm and repose. The painting is celebrated for its realistic representation and the tender, almost anthropomorphic quality Ward imparts to the donkey. The animal's fur is rendered with intricate detail, showcasing Ward's mastery of texture and light. The surrounding landscape, though secondary to the main subject, complements the scene with its soft, pastoral beauty, enhancing the overall serene atmosphere of the composition.

This painting is a testament to Ward's dedication to animal portraiture and his ability to convey the dignity and quiet beauty of his subjects. "Donkey at Rest" not only highlights Ward's technical prowess but also his deep appreciation for the natural world, a theme that resonates throughout his body of work. Today, the painting is regarded as a fine example of early 19th-century British animal art, reflecting the period's artistic trends and Ward's unique contribution to the genre.
