Sketchbook, page 93: Study of a Saddle

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil sketch on paper of a saddle, drawn from the right side. The saddle appears to be a traditional Western or English-style saddle. It has a prominent pommel and cantle, with a visible skirt. The sketch is simple, focusing on the basic shape and features. The paper is off-white, with a rough texture and visible signs of aging. The page is numbered "93" in the bottom-right corner. Three holes are punched along the left edge, indicating it was once part of a sketchbook or binder. The background is the off-white paper.
