Horse's head with bridle and harness
Red-chalk study with a note that the upper bridle is fastened with its own straps
Turned sideways and drawn in red chalk, the sheet studies a horse's head fitted with a bridle and harness. A note beside it states that the upper bridle is fastened with its own straps. At the upper left a separate detail enlarges a metal bridle fitting with its rings, and a fainter study appears toward the right.
