About this work

This image depicts a sketch of horses on a piece of paper. The sketch is drawn in red and features multiple horse heads, each with a unique expression. The paper is tan and has a rough edge on the left side, with some darker spots scattered throughout. The sketch appears to be a study of horse anatomy, with the artist focusing on the details of the horses' faces and necks. The use of red ink adds a sense of warmth and energy to the sketch.
