Horse

Edgar Degas, kb. 1890

This is a drawing of a horse. It shows the side profile of a horse in earthy tones on a light background. The horse is standing in a natural pose, with its body and head outlined with confident strokes. The use of pastel colors gives the horse a sense of texture and volume, capturing light and shadow play on its muscular structure. The drawing's simplicity and skilled suggestion of form and proportion suggest a study focused on capturing the horse's serene elegance and natural beauty.
