Egyptian Mare

Théodore Géricault

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing depicts a standing horse with a light-colored coat and darker spots, facing right. The horse's tail is long and dark, and it wears a saddle with a patterned fabric and tassels. A man dressed in a vest, loose-fitting pants, and a head covering stands beside the horse's head. He appears to be holding the bridle. Two men are seated on the ground to the right; one sits cross-legged, while the other sits on a folded cloth. A palm tree stands behind them. The scene is rendered in black and white. The text at the bottom appears to read 'Jument Egyptienne'.
