Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pencil drawing of a horse's backside on a piece of aged paper. The horse faces right. Its head and front legs are not drawn. The horse's rear legs are drawn in varying levels of detail, with the near leg mostly complete and the far leg only sketched. The tail is long and thin. The horse's rump and the ground beneath it are shaded. The paper is off-white with darker edges.
