About this work

This sketch shows two horses standing side by side, drawn in quick, scratchy lines. Their muscles and bones are visible, almost like the skin is peeled back. The background is just empty paper, so all the focus stays on the animals. The lines are so sharp they look almost carved into the page. This is because the artist used a drypoint needle to scratch into the metal plate before printing. Check out the technique: drypoint.
