Hoofd van een wit paard 1831 - 1904

"Hoofd van een wit paard" (Head of a white horse) is an etching by Belgian artist Arnoud Schaepkens. The artwork is a detailed study of a horse's head, rendered in a realistic style with meticulous hatching and cross-hatching. The artist's mastery of line work creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the texture of the horse's coat and the delicate features of its face. Schaepkens's focus on animal subjects, particularly horses, demonstrates a keen interest in naturalism and the study of anatomy. The etching's small scale and intimate subject matter suggest a personal and contemplative approach to the artist's craft.
