Horse Study

This sketch depicts a saddled horse rendered in graphite, showing careful anatomical observation of the animal's musculature and posture. The drawing exemplifies late-nineteenth-century documentary practices, capturing equestrian subjects with attention to form and proportion. The notation visible on the page suggests this work served as a study or record, possibly part of a larger ethnographic or artistic project. Such sketches functioned as foundational studies for artists working across illustration and fine art during this period.
