The Neighing Horse

Niederländische Grafik 1623–1701, hacia 1685–1697

This is a drawing of a horse standing on a patch of ground. The horse is illustrated with detailed fine lines that emphasize the texture of its coat and the flowing mane that drapes over its neck. The horse stands in a proud pose, with its head turned slightly to one side. Its mouth is open slightly revealing strokes of color near the muzzle. The hooves are shown prominently, anchoring the creature to the ground. The surrounding area is subtly rendered to suggest grass and earth.
