Degas – Étude de Chevaux | Horse Study Drawing

Pencil and charcoal sketches of horses in various poses, capturing muscular tension and movement with loose gestural strokes on warm-toned paper

This preparatory study reveals Degas’s obsessive attention to equine anatomy, likely created during his frequent visits to Parisian racetracks. The overlapping sketches show horses mid-stride and at rest, demonstrating his method of capturing fleeting poses through rapid, confident linework.
