Arab Horse is a 1822 by Théodore Géricault, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a single Arab horse standing in a desert-like setting. Behind it, a person sits near a tent with a palm tree in the background. On the ground, there’s a rolled-up blanket or saddle. The horse’s calm stance and the sparse landscape give it a quiet, almost lonely feel. The artist focused on simple shapes and shading rather than fine details.

Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault (French: ; 26 September 1791 – 26 January 1824) was a French painter and lithographer.
