Saddled horse (Between 1867 and 1872)

This exquisite black-and-white drawing showcases a beautifully detailed saddle horse, rendered in delicate pencil strokes on an off-white textured paper. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings the horse to life, capturing its gentle expression and subtle muscle definition with precision. The horse stands alert yet calm, with a slightly arched neck and forward-facing eyes that exude a sense of readiness and grace. Its mane is subtly detailed, flowing naturally from the head.To the left of the horse, there are faint handwritten notes in a cursive script, adding an element of historical authenticity to the artwork. These notes include various annotations and small sketches, one of which appears to be a simple line drawing of a saddle or stirrups.This piece, titled "Saddled horse (Between 1867 and 1872)" by Adolph Tidemand, combines technical skill with artistry, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate fine pencil work and classical equestrian studies. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance and historical charm to any space or collection.
