Pony (Le poney) is a 1892 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a small horse standing still, its head turned slightly to the side. The background is just a vague shape—maybe a building or fence—and the ground looks like rough grass. The lines are all scratchy and uneven, giving the whole image a rough, textured feel. The artist used a technique where ink is scraped into a metal plate to create the lines. This makes the drawing look almost like a quick sketch, but with more detail than pencil alone. Next, check out etching to see how this method works.
