Paard naar rechts 1688 - 1698

This 17th-century print depicts a dappled grey horse in profile, standing on a grassy field. Created by an anonymous artist between 1688 and 1698, the artwork is a testament to the meticulous detailing and anatomical accuracy of animal studies during this period. The horse's musculature, markings, and posture are rendered with precision, reflecting a keen interest in the natural world. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the print showcases a period of heightened scientific exploration and the growing appreciation for the beauty of animal forms.
