Ploegpaard bij een boom 1906

"Ploegpaard bij een boom" (1906) is a black and white etching by Pieter Dupont depicting a single, harnessed white horse resting beside a tree and a plow. The image is rendered in realistic detail, focusing on the powerful muscles and weight of the horse, and the textured surfaces of the plow and the tree trunk. Dupont's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the strength and resilience of the horse as a working animal. This etching, measuring 120 mm by 160 mm, is a fine example of the artist's focus on rural life and working animals.
