Description of the work

A few lines are all it takes, and yet everything is present: the weight of the bodies, the stance of the horses, the atmosphere of a silent courtyard where time seems to slow. This drawing possesses the spontaneity of great observational sketches, capable of capturing the essence without ever being burdened by unnecessary detail. The eye moves freely through this open composition, where each mark reveals the artist’s mastery. The horses appear in all their dignity, far removed from any form of theatrical staging. An authentic and deeply sensitive work, it will appeal equally to admirers of animal art and to those drawn to contemporary drawing.
