Robert Ladou
Original French Anatomical Pencil Study Exploring Horse's Expressions

20th century

About the Item

Title: Original French Anatomical Pencil Study Exploring Horse's Expressions Artist: Robert Ladou (French, 1929-2014) Medium: Pencil on Paper Size: 19.75 (Height) x 13.75 (Width) Signed: No Condition: Good, with slight marks and signs of aging. Provenance: From the artist's estate Description: This unique French anatomical pencil study captures three detailed views of a horse's head, each exploring a different expression and angle. The drawing on the left features a horse with its mouth open wide, likely caught mid-neigh or laugh, displaying an energetic and dynamic gesture. The two profile sketches on the right show subtler emotions: one horse with a calm, serene expression, while the other seems to be smiling, highlighting the artist's focus on the emotional and behavioral nuances of equine anatomy. Executed with fine pencil work, this piece reflects both the anatomical precision and artistic flair that were likely part of a larger equestrian study series. The different facial angles and expressions make this an appealing acquisition for art collectors, horse enthusiasts, or anyone interested in anatomical studies.
