Studies for "Apollo in His Chariot with the Hours" 1922 - 1925

John Singer Sargent's "Studies for 'Apollo in His Chariot with the Hours'" (1922-1925) is a detailed pencil drawing that captures the essence of the horse's anatomy. The two horse heads are rendered with a masterful command of light and shadow, revealing the artist's keen eye for detail. Sargent's studies are renowned for their masterful handling of form, and these studies exemplify his ability to translate three-dimensional forms into two-dimensional mediums.
