Studie van een paardenkop Possibly 1791 - 1943

"Studie van een paardenkop" is a detailed pencil drawing by Pieter Gerardus van Os, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. The small-scale work captures the head and neck of a horse in close-up, showcasing van Os's keen eye for anatomy and detail. The drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a study for a larger composition, likely a painting or print. The horse's head is rendered with precision, highlighting the textured mane and the intricate details of the harness. This intimate study exemplifies van Os's talent for capturing animal subjects with realism and sensitivity.
