Vrouw te paard, van opzij gezien, met schetsje van een onderbeen en voet before 1660

"Vrouw te paard, van opzij gezien, met schetsje van een onderbeen en voet" is a charcoal drawing by Gesina ter Borch, a prominent Dutch artist known for her portraits and genre scenes. The drawing, created before 1660, showcases ter Borch’s talent for capturing movement and anatomy. The piece depicts a woman on horseback, viewed from the side, with a detailed sketch of a lower leg and foot. This is a classic example of a preparatory drawing, likely made for a larger, more elaborate painting. The sketch captures the essence of a noblewoman in a graceful pose, providing a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch aristocratic life.
