(Study of a Horse's Head)
1895–1899

A sketch of a horse's head on a textured, tan-colored paper. The horse, depicted in profile, has a bridle and its mane appears to be flowing. The drawing is rendered with loose, expressive lines and shows a blend of brown and black shading, highlighting the contours of the horse's features.
