Hesten Velskabt 1822

"Hesten Velskabt" (The Well-Bred Horse) is an 1822 print by Danish artist Christian David Gebauer (1777-1831). The print depicts a chestnut horse in profile, its legs gracefully extended as it stands on a patch of grass. The horse’s muscular build and powerful stance are highlighted by the artist’s meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of watercolor. This print is a testament to Gebauer's skill in capturing the beauty and grace of animals, making it a valuable addition to the collection of SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst.
