Hoofd van een Arabisch paard 1843 - 1844

Victor Adam's "Hoofd van een Arabisch paard" (1843-1844) is a detailed pencil drawing of the head of an Arabian horse. The horse is depicted in profile, its head turned slightly to the left, with its mane flowing in the wind. Adam, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies, captured the animal's beauty and grace with meticulous detail, using a range of pencil strokes to create texture and form. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Adam's mastery of animal anatomy and his ability to convey a sense of life and movement in his work.
