Paardenhoofd met stro in de bek, naar links before 1841

"Paardenhoofd met stro in de bek, naar links" is a pencil drawing by Joannes Bemme, depicting the head of a horse from a side profile. The horse, wearing a bridle, is shown eating straw. The drawing, likely made before 1841, is a simple yet detailed study of the animal's form. The horse's anatomy and expression are captured with skillful lines and subtle shading, showcasing Bemme's talent for capturing natural subjects. This work, now held in the Rijksmuseum, represents a specific genre of animal studies popular in the 19th century, often depicting farm animals with a focus on their anatomy and daily life.
