Sketch of a Horse
The artwork "Sketch of a Horse" by Rembrandt features a horse standing and facing left. The horse has a bridle on its head with a strap under its chin and a strap around its forehead. A saddle pad is on its back, and a decorative saddle is placed on top. The saddle has two tassel-adorned straps hanging from its front and a decorative element on its rear. The horse's long tail hangs down. The drawing is done in black lines on brown paper with darker brown spots. The horse's body is shaded with short lines. A small illegible signature is near the horse's front left leg. A dark smudge and blue streaks are in the upper right corner.
