Staand paard met hoofd naar beneden, naar rechts gewend 1590

This etching, “Staand paard met hoofd naar beneden, naar rechts gewend,” by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta depicts a horse standing in a field with its head bowed and turned to the right. The horse is drawn with meticulous detail, and the artist has captured the animal's musculature and movement in a dynamic and lifelike way. The background features a distant cityscape and rolling hills, which create a sense of depth and perspective. Tempesta was a prolific artist who specialized in animal studies, and this work is a fine example of his skill and mastery of the etching technique.
