Steigerend paard 17th century

This 17th-century anonymous engraving depicts a rearing horse, its front leg raised in a powerful pose. The detailed hatching and cross-hatching techniques, characteristic of the period, convey the horse's musculature and movement. The simple composition highlights the horse's form, creating a sense of dynamism and strength. The drawing's small size, measuring 105 mm high and 119 mm wide, suggests it may have been part of a larger series or a study for a more ambitious work.
