Paardenkop 1725 - 1792

"Paardenkop" (Horse Head) is a detailed etching by Aert Schouman, a Dutch artist known for his animal studies. Created between 1725 and 1792, this small-scale work captures the intricate details of a horse's head. The artist's meticulous lines, carefully rendered in shades of gray, create a sense of realism and depth. This study, currently residing in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Schouman's mastery of animal anatomy and his ability to convey lifelike qualities through the medium of etching.
