Study of a Horse [verso]

William Etty

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a horse lying on its back, depicted with simple, fluid lines suggesting the outline of the animal with its legs raised upwards. The image emphasizes the motion and posture of the horse, with a textured, sepia-toned background. Small splotches and marks are scattered across the drawing.
