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.

The King's Camelopard
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Charles Frederick de Brocktorff (1775–1850)
‘Camelopard – a present from the Pacha of Egypt to the King – at Malta on its way to England’
Signed and dated C.F. de Brocktorff. / 1827. lower right, inscribed as titled in the painted margins lower centre. 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. A curious sight for Europeans, who had not seen such a beast since the Medici giraffe in 1487.
Few animals created more of a stir in Europe than these royal...
