Horse

Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of a horse with a saddle. The drawing shows a standing horse facing right, equipped with a saddle. The horse is depicted realistically, with detailed attention to its anatomy and stance. The saddle is placed on the horse, with visible stirrups. The drawing uses fine lines and shading to highlight the horse's body and the saddle's details, creating a sense of depth and texture. The empty space around the horse accentuates the intricate pencil work on the main subject.
