Horse Jumping a Barrier is a 1823 ink by Louis-Pierre-Marie Courtin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a black horse mid-jump over a simple wooden fence. The horse’s muscles are tight, and its legs are stretched out in motion. The ground below is rough, with a few scattered rocks, and the fence looks like it’s made of thin planks and posts. The sketch is drawn in black and white, with quick, loose lines that make the horse look fast and powerful. The artist didn’t add much detail to the background, keeping focus on the horse’s movement.
