Paardenhoofden 1831 - 1904

"Paardenhoofden" (Horse Heads), an etching by Arnoud Schaepkens, captures the detail of a horse’s head with an intricate, scratchy style. Schaepkens, known for his etchings and drawings, was a Belgian artist who lived from 1816 to 1904. The image is dominated by the horse’s head, which is rendered in dark, dense strokes, while the background remains light and airy. The fine lines suggest the texture of the horse’s fur, with a focus on the intricate details of its features.
