content: After Leonardo da Vinci: Study of a horse rearing to the left; the horse's head and neck are twisted backward, toward the right, in the direction of the flying tail. The volume of the horse's body is carefully rendered in light and shade; the lower part of the horse's legs is only partially indicated. The drawing appears to be a copy of the original Leonardo drawing in the Royal Collection, Windsor Castle (England): Study for the "Battle of Anghiari" (Royal Collection #12334).
