Sheet of Studies: Three Figures Above, Studies of Horses Below 1612 - 1675

"Sheet of Studies: Three Figures Above, Studies of Horses Below" is a pen and brown ink drawing by the Italian artist Micco Spadaro (Domenico Gargiulo). This 17th century work features three figures depicted from the back, their postures and clothing meticulously captured in detail. Below, the lower half of a horse is rendered, with emphasis on its anatomy and the saddle. Spadaro's drawings are often characterized by their loose, expressive lines and naturalistic depiction of figures, making this small study a testament to his skilled observation and artistic talent.
