Innocence
Size: 15.2 X 11.9 inches.
This evocative pencil drawing, titled “Innocence,” captures the noble spirit and gentle majesty of a horse in profile. The artwork is rendered in a soft, monochromatic palette of graphite, highlighting the exquisite detail and texture.
The horse’s head and powerful neck dominate the composition, turned slightly away as if lost in a quiet moment of introspection. The artist has masterfully used shading to define the strong, yet serene, contours of the face, lending the animal an almost sculptural quality. A sense of movement is conveyed through the flowing mane, which is lightly sketched, suggesting a soft breeze or a sudden turn of the head.
The horse’s large, deep-set eye is particularly captivating—it holds a look of profound, unspoiled sincerity, perfectly embodying the title “Innocence.” It’s an artwork that speaks to the purity of nature, the gentle strength of the animal, and a moment of perfect, untroubled peace.
