Stejlende hest over hav eller skyer 1879 - 1910

"Stejlende hest over hav eller skyer" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Danish artist Oluf Hartmann. It was created between 1879 and 1910, Hartmann's short lifespan. The artwork, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a dark, shadowy figure of a horse rearing up against a backdrop of water or clouds. Hartmann's use of charcoal creates a dramatic and atmospheric scene, emphasizing the horse's powerful pose and the vastness of the surrounding landscape. The drawing's small size (193 mm x 210 mm) contributes to its intimate and expressive quality, making it a poignant example of Hartmann's talent for capturing fleeting moments and evoking a sense of raw emotion.
