Oud paard bij een water staande 1788 - 1814

"Oud paard bij een water staande" is a pencil drawing by Jan (II) Kobell, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies. Created between 1788 and 1814, the artwork depicts a single, aging horse standing in a field near water, its head lowered as if drinking. The simple composition and meticulous detail highlight the artist's mastery of depicting animal anatomy and form. The drawing is a prime example of Kobell's focus on capturing the natural world with realism and sensitivity.
