Title: Dynamic Watercolor study of Equine Trainer with a Horse Artist: Robert Ladou (French, 1929-2014) Medium: Watercolour on paper Size: 7.75 (Height) x 11.25 (Width) Signed: No Condition: Good, with some staining to the paper Description: This expressive study by Robert Ladou features a bold depiction of a equine trainer and a horse in motion as the trainer leads the horse around. Ladou captures the fluidity and dynamism of the subject with simplified, flowing lines. The broad strokes convey a sense of speed and movement, highlighting Ladou’s ability to communicate action with minimal detail. This piece showcases Ladou’s interest in animal movement, echoing his admiration for Eadweard Muybridge’s early studies of motion. Ladou’s specific focus on the anatomical representation of horses, makes his work a notable choice for art collectors with a particular interest in equestrian-themed art.
