This delicate coloured pencil drawing presents the portrait of a graceful horse in an idyllic setting. The beauty and dignity of the animal has been captured with fine, precise strokes. Its head is worked out in detail, with particular attention paid to the expressive eye, the pointed ears and the gentle curve of the nostrils. The mane falls in soft strands over the neck. The horse's colouring is richly nuanced, with various shades of brown and red lending depth and texture to the coat. Delicate green leaves and light pink flowers are hinted at in the background, creating a spring-like atmosphere and contrasting beautifully with the warm brown colour of the horse. The sky is a soft light blue, giving the picture a peaceful mood and the drawing technique shows a masterful control of the coloured pencil, with soft transitions and fine details that give the picture an almost painterly quality.
