Hoofd van een paard, bloemen en een hand 1762 - 1793

"Hoofd van een paard, bloemen en een hand" is a study by Jean François Janinet, a French artist known for his works of the Rococo period. The drawing, created between 1762 and 1793, depicts a horse's head in profile, a bouquet of flowers, and a hand in a gestural pose. The composition, drawn in red chalk on paper, demonstrates Janinet's careful observation of detail and mastery of anatomical form. The drawing is a testament to the artist’s academic training and is a valuable example of preparatory studies for larger compositions. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
