En almuemand til hest med en håndhest ved siden 1743 - 1809

"En almuemand til hest med en håndhest ved siden" is a simple pencil sketch created by Danish artist Nicolai Abildgaard between 1743 and 1809. It depicts a rider on horseback, with a second horse standing beside the first. The light sketchwork and minimal detail are indicative of a preliminary study or a quick gesture drawing. The artwork is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and measures 192 mm (height) x 281 mm (width) (bladmaal). This drawing showcases Abildgaard's talent for capturing movement and form with minimal lines, emphasizing the natural dynamism of the subject.
