Two Grazing Horses

About this work

This drawing shows two horses grazing side by side in a field. One is smaller, almost a foal, while the other is larger with a thick mane. The grass around them is simple, with a few bushes in the background and a sky full of wispy clouds. The artist used only lines to create depth and texture, focusing on the horses’ shapes and movement. The paper has a visible grid pattern, which was common for etchings at the time. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints using acid and metal plates.
