Een paard wordt beslagen 1823

"Een paard wordt beslagen" (A Horse Being Shod) is a lithograph created by Théodore Géricault in 1823. The artwork depicts a blacksmith shoeing a white horse while two other men observe. Géricault, a French artist renowned for his Romantic style, often focused on scenes of everyday life and animal subjects. This lithograph is a prime example of his ability to capture movement and detail through the use of bold strokes and contrasts in light and shadow. The scene is captured in a simple, yet powerful composition, highlighting the bond between humans and animals.
