Group of Seven Horses

Hans Baldung Grien

National Gallery of Art

This is a print showing a group of horses in a forest. The horses are depicted in various poses and activities, some grazing on the grass, others laying down, and others standing with their mouths open as if whinnying. The horses have detailed features like flowing manes and muscular bodies. Trees and forest elements are in the background, with a deer visible on the right, and a man looking out from behind a tree in the upper left corner. To the left of center, a monkey is sitting beside a plaque or sign on the ground. The background of the print is beige paper.
