Hest og hestehoved 1810 - 1873

"Hest og hestehoved" (Horse and Horse Head) is a pencil sketch by Danish artist Wilhelm Marstrand. Dated 1810-1873, the drawing features two horses, one with its head turned towards the viewer and another, viewed from behind, with a person resting on its back. This informal sketch, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Marstrand's interest in capturing the anatomy of animals. The artist's quick, expressive lines and the delicate use of shading contribute to a sense of movement and life within the composition.
