Paard 1728 - 1789

Jacob Hoolaart's "Paard" (Horse) is a small etching from 1728-1789 depicting a single horse, likely a workhorse, harnessed and ready for labor. The image, which measures only 29 mm in height and 26 mm in width, is a simple yet effective depiction of the animal, with precise lines outlining its form. Hoolaart was a Dutch artist known for his detailed and realistic animal drawings, and this etching is a good example of his meticulous style.
