One of the Hours Holding the Bridle of a Horse of the Sun, and Other Figures c. 1750 - 1753

"One of the Hours Holding the Bridle of a Horse of the Sun, and Other Figures," is a pen and brown ink drawing by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created between 1750 and 1753. This sketch, likely a preparatory drawing for a larger fresco or painting, features a dynamic composition of figures, including a figure holding the bridle of a horse, and others in various poses. The loose and expressive lines of the drawing demonstrate Tiepolo's mastery of draftsmanship and his ability to capture movement and energy on paper.
