Paardenhoofd, naar rechts before 1841

"Paardenhoofd, naar rechts" is a detailed etching by Dutch artist Joannes Bemme, created before his death in 1841. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a close-up of a horse's head, its mane flowing, and its eyes, while not fully visible, seem to peer intensely. Bemme's meticulous detail, evident in the fine lines of the etching, provides a striking and realistic portrait of the horse. This work exemplifies Bemme's skill in capturing the nuances of animal anatomy through the medium of etching, making it a notable piece in the genre of animal portraiture.
