Zeven paarden op een rij Possibly 1629

"Zeven paarden op een rij" (Seven Horses in a Row), a pen and ink drawing by Gerard ter Borch, depicts a line of horses and a rider. The artist, known for his detailed portraits and genre scenes, captures the movement of the horses in a simple yet expressive style. The drawing, dated 1629, showcases Ter Borch's early skill in capturing animal anatomy and movement, demonstrating the influence of Dutch Golden Age artistic traditions. The small scale of the artwork, measuring only 90 mm by 168 mm, contributes to its intimate and detailed feel.
