Description:
This intricate anatomical drawing by French artist Robert Ladou offers a detailed study of a horse’s limb, emphasizing muscle structure and tendons. The use of colored pencils brings certain areas into sharper focus, demonstrating Ladou's technical mastery of equine anatomy. The precision of the lines conveys the complexity and strength of the horse's form, making this piece both scientifically informative and aesthetically compelling. This drawing is accompanied by the annotation in French, "d’après l’écorché du centre équestre à Fbleau" ("according to the flayed model of the equestrian center at Fontainebleau"). The technical detail, combined with the historical reference to Fontainebleau, adds a unique depth to the artwork, making it appealing to both art collectors and equestrian enthusiasts.
This piece would be an excellent addition to any collection focused on equestrian themes, anatomy, or the works of 20th-century French artists.
