Sketchbook, page 21: Study of a Horse

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a horse's head and neck on a piece of paper. The horse faces right, with its head in profile; its ears are perked up. The sketch is positioned at the top of the page, angled down to the right. The horse's bridle and a portion of its reins are drawn. The paper is off-white with a rough texture and three holes punched along the top edge. There are faint blue marks and small dark spots on the paper. The number "21" is handwritten in black at the bottom-left corner. The background behind the paper is dark gray.
