Horse’s Head 1936

Cyprián Majerník’s 1936 pencil drawing “Horse’s Head” depicts a single horse head in profile. The horse’s face is angled downward and the artist’s use of simple lines creates a sense of depth, highlighting the animal’s musculature and facial features. The simple background of two columns provides visual grounding and may be intended to represent the stable or a classical space where the animal is housed, perhaps in a depiction of a scene from mythology. The drawing is a testament to Majerník’s skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of his subject in a minimalist style.
