Masete de Normandie 1606 - 1689

"Masete de Normandie" is an etching by French artist Charles Errard le fils, created between 1606 and 1689. This print depicts two horses, one with a saddle and a bell, standing at a stone trough while a man in a turban stands between them. The image, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcases the artist's talent for capturing the detailed anatomy of the horses and the naturalistic setting. This small etching, measuring only 8 1/8 x 9 3/16 inches, exemplifies Errard's skill in animal studies.
