Hoofd van een opgetuigd paard, naar links 1815

"Hoofd van een opgetuigd paard, naar links" is a delicate brown ink drawing by Jean Bernard depicting the head of a horse in profile. The horse is facing left and is wearing a bridle, its head and neck partially obscured by the saddle and other tack. Created in 1815, the small work (140 mm high, 163 mm wide) demonstrates Bernard's skill in capturing the animal's form through simple, yet precise lines. Now held at the Rijksmuseum, the drawing exemplifies Bernard's interest in naturalism and animal studies, a common theme in his oeuvre.
