Studies of a Horse 1868 - 1875

"Studies of a Horse" is a charcoal drawing by Edgar Degas, created between 1868 and 1875. It features a horse viewed from the back, with the artist capturing its form through delicate yet precise lines. Degas, known for his depictions of dancers and horses, masterfully conveys the animal's anatomy and movement, demonstrating his interest in capturing fleeting moments in time. The drawing currently resides at the Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to Degas's influence on Impressionism and the enduring appeal of his subject matter.
