"Het kleine paard" (The Little Horse) is an engraving by the Dutch artist Wierix, created between 1564 and 1568. The artwork depicts a white horse standing in a stable-like setting, with a partially visible figure holding a spear in the background. The horse is rendered with great detail, showcasing Wierix's skill in capturing the animal's anatomy and its graceful stance. The engraving is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The work is a fine example of Northern Renaissance art, a period known for its attention to detail and realistic depictions.
