Original French Abstract Study of a Horse and Figure in a Stable

Title: Original French Abstract Study of a Horse and Figure in a Stable Artist: Robert Ladou (French, 1929-2014) Medium: Watercolor on paper Size: 12 (Height) x 14.75 (Width) Signed: No Condition: Good Description: This abstract study by Robert Ladou features a horse and a figure walking out of a stable block. The artist’s signature style is evident in the fluidity of the lines and the suggestion of movement, with the horse and figure emerging from a series of abstract forms. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the ethereal and fleeting nature of the scene. The piece has visible aging, including some foxing and stains, adding a sense of history and character to the work. Ladou’s approach to abstraction allows the viewer to interpret the relationship between the figure and the horse, leaving much to the imagination. 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.
