Studieblad met studies van paarden Possibly 1801 - 1867

"Studie blad met studies van paarden" is a pencil drawing created by Théodore Géricault, a celebrated French painter of the Romantic era. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, features multiple studies of horses in various poses, capturing their anatomy and movement with great detail. Géricault is famous for his monumental painting "The Raft of the Medusa" (1818-1819), a piece that shocked the Parisian art world with its realism and dramatic depiction of a shipwreck. This drawing, likely created between 1801 and 1867, showcases his interest in capturing animal form and the influence of the classical tradition of anatomical study.
