To hestehoveder og et mandshoved 1686 - 1738

"To hestehoveder og et mandshoved" (Two Horse Heads and a Man's Head) is a drawing by Danish artist Hendrik Krock, dating from 1686 to 1738. This delicate and detailed work, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Krock’s skill in capturing animal anatomy. The drawing features two horse heads in profile, one rendered in red chalk and the other in black chalk. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the horses' manes, bridles, and expressive eyes. The addition of a partial human head in the background adds a touch of mystery and suggests a narrative context for the animal studies. This drawing provides insight into Krock's artistic practice and his interest in anatomical observation.
