Stappend paard, naar links 1775 - 1833

This detailed pencil drawing, titled "Stappend paard, naar links" ("Stepping Horse, to the Left"), was created between 1775 and 1833 by Dutch artist Jean Bernard (1765-1833). The artwork depicts a horse in profile, its anatomy meticulously rendered in a realistic style. Its simple composition, with the horse against a blank background, allows for a strong focus on the animal's form. This piece is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
