Kop van een paard met een hoofdstel 1796 - 1821

"Kop van een paard met een hoofdstel" (Head of a horse with a bridle), created between 1796 and 1821 by James Newman Hodges, is a detailed depiction of a black horse's head. Hodges, known for his animal portraits, captures the horse's features with meticulous detail, emphasizing its powerful build and the intricate textures of its coat. The brimming eye, rendered in sharp detail, lends a sense of life and character to the otherwise still composition. This work is a testament to Hodges's mastery of animal portraiture and is a compelling example of the equestrian art of the early 19th century.
