More about this artwork
Eugène Delacroix, a master of Romantic art, captures the essence of equine grace in his painting "Study of a Horse-1." This work exemplifies Delacroix's adept skill in using watercolors to convey the dynamic form and spirit of his subjects. The painting depicts a solitary brown horse standing against a dark, indistinct background that fades into soft, shadowy hues. The horse is portrayed with a keen attention to detail, from the muscles rippling under its glossy coat to the gentle gaze that seems to reflect a serene resignation.The palette is earthy, with rich tones of brown and red punctuating the horse's body, highlighting its contours and the play of light across its form. Delacroix's signature can be discerned at the bottom right, adding a personal touch to this intimate study.
