Hoofd van een paard met oogkleppen op, naar links 1820

"Hoofd van een paard met oogkleppen op, naar links" (Head of a horse with blinkers on, to the left) is a detailed pencil drawing created in 1820 by the Dutch artist Jean Bernard. The drawing showcases the artist's skill in capturing the horse's anatomy and features. The horse's head is depicted in profile, with its eye covered by blinkers, a common practice in horse training. This intimate portrait of a workhorse is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Bernard was known for his animal studies and this piece is a fine example of his talent for depicting animals with realism and sensitivity.
