This red chalk drawing by Paulus Potter, a prominent Dutch Golden Age artist, depicts a man adjusting the saddle of a horse. Created sometime between 1625 and 1654, this drawing is a study in naturalism and detail. Potter's precise lines capture the anatomy of the horse and the man's movements with a sense of life and immediacy. The drawing’s simple composition, with its focus on the central figures, underscores Potter's skill in capturing a fleeting moment in the daily life of a rural worker. This drawing is now part of The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection.
