Attributed to Paulus Potter

This is a drawing of a horse. The drawing depicts a horse in a seated position, with its body facing away from the viewer while its head is turned to the side, looking toward the viewer. The horse's mane is depicted with wavy lines, giving it a textured appearance. The body of the horse is outlined with shading to accentuate the muscular structures and fur texture. The drawing is likely created using pencil or charcoal. The background is minimal, with some light shading.
