Grazend paard van voren 1750 - 1809

"Grazend paard van voren" (Grazing Horse from the Front) is a pen and ink drawing by David Alphonse de Sandoz-Rollin, created between 1750 and 1809. The drawing depicts a horse in profile, grazing on a grassy field. Its simple lines and delicate shading capture the animal's form with a naturalism characteristic of Sandoz-Rollin's work. The small size of the drawing, measuring 109 mm in height and 105 mm in width, suggests it was intended as a study or a preparatory sketch for a larger work. The drawing is a testament to Sandoz-Rollin's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with few strokes.
