Horses Running

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of horses in various dynamic poses. The horses are depicted with flowing manes and tails, suggesting motion and energy. They are arranged in a scattered yet harmonious composition, with some shown prancing, rearing, or galloping, while others appear in more relaxed positions. The line work gives a classic and timeless quality to the artwork, and adds depth and texture to the figures, making each horse distinct and lively.
