Achterlijf van een aangespannen paard 1888 - 1890

"Achterlijf van een aangespannen paard" (1888-1890), a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, depicts the rear legs of a horse in motion. The dynamic lines capture the energy and power of the animal, a common theme in Witsen's work, which often explored the lives of ordinary people and the natural world. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Witsen's skilled use of line and his keen observation of the world around him, reflecting his artistic commitment to realism.
