1825
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Study of a woman standing beside a horse is a 1825 by Daniel Maclise, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress standing next to a horse. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick draft. The woman’s face is simple but clear, and her hands rest on her chest. The horse is drawn with rough strokes, almost like a quick note rather than a finished picture. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the big shapes and movements. This style was common in early sketches before a full painting. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
A pencil drawing by Daniel Maclise depicts a woman in a hat with a veil, resting her left arm on a horse, while a male servant in a top hat stands behind the animal in the background. The work was displayed in Mount 15, one of thirty frames containing 390 drawings and sketches in pencil, pen, ink, and color, alongside contributions from other artists including Calderon, T.S. Cooper, and Landseer. The exhibition also featured portraits of notable literary and public figures, such as Edward Bulwer-Lytton and Benjamin Disraeli.
