This graphite drawing by Carle Vernet, "Detail of Horse's Head, Enlarged to Triple Size, Norman Royal Guard, No. 3," showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The artwork, dated c. 1818, is a study of a horse's head, enlarged to create a dramatic and intimate perspective. The detailed rendering of the horse's anatomy, particularly the musculature and texture of the skin, highlights Vernet's masterful skill in animal portraiture. This work is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
