Hest, dækket af skaberak, profil mod venstre 1582

This 1582 engraving by Melchior Lorck depicts a horse, its head turned downwards. The horse is adorned with a decorative covering, possibly armor, with a multitude of fringed sections. In the background, a windmill stands tall, a testament to Lorck's keen eye for detail. This small-scale artwork (133mm x 192mm) captures the artist's fascination with the natural world, showcasing the power of observation and meticulous craftsmanship. The detailed, intricate lines of the engraving showcase a remarkable mastery of the technique. This piece is a fine example of 16th-century art, where the artist seeks to capture the world in all its complex details.
