Description:
This expressive charcoal drawing by the renowned French artist Robert Ladou exemplifies his ability to capture the majestic essence of equine subjects. The horse, portrayed mid-movement, seems to leap from the page with fluidity and energy. Ladou’s masterful use of charcoal highlights the strength and elegance of the horse, while the light, gestural strokes evoke a sense of freedom and grace.
A recurring motif in Ladou’s work, horses serve as both an artistic and symbolic subject for him, often representing the power and harmony of nature. This study reveals Ladou’s deep understanding of anatomy and movement, blended with his more abstract, impressionistic style. The fine gradation of tone adds depth, allowing light to play across the horse’s form, making it a striking piece for any collector of equine or modernist art.
