Robert Ladou
Original French Anatomical Pencil Study of Horse’s Head and Neck

20th century

About the Item

Title: Original French Anatomical Pencil Study of Horse’s Head and Neck Artist: Robert Ladou (French, 1929-2014) Medium: Pencil on Paper Size: 20 (Height) x 13.75 (Width) Signed: No Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: From the artist's estate Description: This elegant anatomical sketch features a horse's head, meticulously outlined with flowing lines to highlight the key structural features of the neck and head. The drawing captures the refined contours of the horse’s head with subtle pencil shading that adds depth. The posture of the horse suggests attentiveness, and the use of precise, clean lines gives the piece a scientific quality, making it ideal for collectors interested in anatomical studies or equestrian subjects. This piece is part of a series of equine anatomical studies, likely intended for educational purposes, capturing both the external form and the internal skeletal structure. There is a soft aesthetic to the sketch, with careful consideration given to the curvature of the neck and positioning of the head, reflecting both anatomical accuracy and artistic sensitivity. The composition is framed with a subtle outline, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the head and neck of the horse. Suitable for display in academic collections, veterinary or equestrian spaces, or as part of an art collection celebrating the beauty of animal anatomy.

Pencil and watercolour heightened with gold paint and gum arabic on paper, 36.8 x 27.9 cm A gift so majestic, it made kings blush, and a gift so grand, it would startle Europe into a craze. Pasha Muhammad Ali of Egypt (1805-1848) did it in 1827: he sent to Europe three magical spotted, horned creatures, each with a neck reaching the skies and legs as long as a house is high. One giraffe to King Charles X of France, one to Francis I of Austria and the most fabled one to King George IV of England.
