Théodore Géricault's "Horse head" is a graphite drawing created between 1812 and 1814. This quick sketch is a study of an equine head, featuring a detailed eye and a simplified but expressive outline of the horse's face. Géricault was known for his anatomical studies and his interest in capturing the energy and motion of animals. This drawing is a testament to his masterful skill in capturing the essence of his subject with a few swift strokes.
