Studie van een paard met zwaaiende staart, van achteren 1660

"Studie van een paard met zwaaiende staart, van achteren" (Study of a Horse with a Swishing Tail, from Behind) is a black chalk drawing on blue paper by the Dutch painter Moses ter Borch. Executed in 1660, this small, intimate study, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases ter Borch's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the movement of a horse with remarkable accuracy. The drawing depicts the animal from behind, its tail flowing gracefully, highlighting the artist's meticulous observation of the horse's anatomy and musculature.
