Sketchbook, page 18: Study of a Horse and Landscape Study

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil sketch on paper of a landscape with trees and a study of a horse. The landscape drawing depicts a row of trees on a slight hill on the left with a large open area to the right. The trees are drawn with a range of shading, some darker and some lighter, and there are hints of mountains or large hills in the background. On the right side of the paper, there is a rough sketch of a horse from the neck up. The horse's head is not fully detailed but appears to be looking forward. The paper is off-white and appears to be from a sketchbook.
