Schets van een paard en koe c. 1780 - 1855

This quick sketch of a horse and cow, dated c. 1780-1855, is a fine example of the work of Dutch artist Jan Dasveldt. Dasveldt, born in 1770, is known for his studies of animals. This sketch captures the anatomy of the horse with loose, gestural lines and a sense of immediacy. Its small size and unfinished quality suggest it was likely a study from life for a larger composition. The sketch is a testament to Dasveldt's keen observation and skill in capturing animal form with simplicity and grace.
