EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite antique print showcases a graphite drawing on laid paper by the renowned French artist Jacques-Louis David, depicting an equestrian sculpture of a horse from the 18th century. The horse, with its powerful and muscular form, is captured in a dynamic and energetic pose, as if mid-bucking. The intricate details of the animal's coat, muscles, and anatomy are masterfully rendered, showcasing David's exceptional skill and artistry. The print is a depiction of an original sculpture, a testament to the artist's ability to translate three-dimensional form into two-dimensional art. The black and white contrast highlights the textures and contours of the horse, adding depth and dimension to the image. Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) was a prominent French painter and draughtsman of the Neoclassical period. He is known for his portraits and historical paintings, which often featured grand themes and classical subjects. This print, however, offers a glimpse into his lesser-known body of work, showcasing his talent for capturing the essence of animals through drawing. This print is an invaluable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the heritage and history of art, particularly the equestrian and animal depictions of the 18th century. It is a must-see for art enthusiasts, historians, and anyone interested in the cultural significance of horses in art and history. Currently, this print is on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is available for viewing by the public. The print is a unique and rare find, offering a glimpse into the past and the artistic mastery of Jacques-Louis David.
