"Studies of horses" is a pencil drawing by August Lucas, a German artist born in 1803. It is housed in the Städel Museum. The drawing comprises several studies of horses, rendered in a loose and expressive style. The artist has captured the animals' anatomy and movement with striking accuracy. Lucas, known for his animal studies, has used the drawing to practice his observation skills and develop his artistic style.
