Twee paarden van achteren gezien 1822 - 1845

This anonymous 19th-century drawing, titled "Twee paarden van achteren gezien", depicts two horses from behind, standing side-by-side in a simple outdoor setting. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of animal studies, capturing the detailed anatomy and muscularity of the horses with skillful shading. The drawing's realism is enhanced by the inclusion of subtle details, such as the uneven ground and the hint of a fence in the background.
