Original French Anatomical Study of Equine Leg Muscles

20th century

About the Item

Title: Original French Anatomical Study of Equine Leg Muscles Artist: Robert Ladou (French, 1929-2014) Medium: Pencil on paper Size: 19.5 (Height) x 12.75 (Width) Signed: No Condition: Good, some light surface wear consistent with age Provenance: From the artist's estate Description:This anatomical study by Robert Ladou intricately depicts the muscular structure and leg bones of a horse. Ladou’s exceptional technical skill is evident in the precise rendering of the equine form, demonstrating both his artistic talent and his deep knowledge of horse anatomy. A fascinating element of this piece is the inscription, which reads: "After the 'écorché' of the equestrian center at Fontainebleau." The term “écorché” refers to a detailed anatomical study used for teaching and understanding musculature, often with the skin removed to reveal the muscles underneath. The reference to Fontainebleau indicates that this piece was inspired by studies conducted at the renowned equestrian center in Fontainebleau, France, adding a layer of educational and historical significance to the artwork.
