Description
Six studies of the hind-quarters, in profile, of a horse in various poses.
The drawing may have as its basis studies by Leonardo, but in the form in which we now see it all the work appears to be by Melzi.
Provenance
Bequeathed to Francesco Melzi; from whose heirs purchased by Pompeo Leoni, c.1582-90; Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel, by 1630; Probably acquired by Charles II; Royal Collection by 1690.
