Tre studier af en hest 1870 - 1873

"Tre studier af en hest" (Three studies of a horse) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard, dated 1870 - 1873. The drawing depicts a horse from different angles, showcasing Skovgaard's keen observation of animal anatomy. The piece, now located at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Skovgaard's early interest in realism and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects through simple yet expressive lines. The drawing's small size and delicate nature suggest it may have been a private study, a glimpse into the artist's creative process.
