Liggend paard, ontwerp voor een penning 1755

Edme Bouchardon's "Liggend paard, ontwerp voor een penning" (1755) is a red chalk drawing depicting a reclining horse, a design for a medal. The horse, realistically rendered, occupies the central circular space of the composition, resting on a base, with its head turned to the viewer's right. This drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Bouchardon's mastery of anatomical detail and his artistic vision.
