Etend ploegpaard 1898

"Etend ploegpaard" is an etching created by Pieter Dupont in 1898, depicting a single horse, harnessed and resting in a field. The horse is shown in profile with its head lowered to the ground, likely feeding from a bag. The background is obscured, but the faint outline of other horses and figures in the distance suggests a larger scene, perhaps of farm work or a military camp. The artwork’s visual realism captures the animal’s weariness and the artist’s attention to detail. The artist's use of tonal variation and line work create a sense of depth and form. This etching is a testament to the powerful bond between humans and animals, as well as the artist’s mastery of the etching technique.
