Two Sketches of Trotting Horse
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intriguing work of art by the renowned Dutch artist Philip Wouverman (1622-1642). This exquisite pen and gray ink with brush and gray wash over graphite on ivory laid paper laid down on cream laid paper drawing dates back to the Baroque era of the 17th century. The artwork consists of two separate sketches of a trotting horse, each one showcasing the animal in different poses. The first sketch depicts the horse in motion, its powerful legs extended in mid-stride, conveying a sense of energy and dynamism. The horse's muscular form and detailed anatomy are rendered with remarkable precision and accuracy, while the intricate details of its harness and saddle add authenticity to the scene. The second sketch captures the horse in a more relaxed pose, its head turned towards its flank, as if taking a moment's rest. The artist's masterful use of ink and gray wash creates a striking contrast between the light and shadow, bringing out the textures and contours of the horse's coat and the intricacies of its harness. Philip Wouverman was a prolific artist from the Low Countries, known for his detailed and realistic drawings of horses and other animals. His works were highly sought after by collectors and art connoisseurs of the time, and his influence on the art world extended beyond the Netherlands, reaching as far as France and Italy. Today, "Two Sketches of Trotting Horse" is a cherished addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its artistic merit, this remarkable drawing is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Baroque era and the timeless beauty of the natural world.
