Het temmen van een paard 1775 - 1833

"Het temmen van een paard" (The Taming of a Horse) is a pencil drawing by Jean Bernard, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of everyday life. This drawing shows a horse rearing up on its hind legs as a rider holds onto the reins. Another man in the foreground holds a whip and appears to be attempting to control the animal. This work, created between 1775 and 1833, exemplifies Bernard's ability to capture the movement and energy of his subjects in a simple, yet expressive style, and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
