Description: | Of the nine works by Géricault that William Burrell purchased, only two - The Polish Trumpeter and The Prancing Grey Horse - are now known to be definitely by the artist. Five are no longer attributed to Géricault at all and two others - Two Brown Horses and this work, Telemaque - are doubtful. A dappled white horse stands tethered in a stable. As in Two Brown Horses an inscription in the top left presumably records the horse's name - Télémaque'. This inscription has been made using the wooden tip of a paintbrush. Similar bold strokes using the tip of the brush have also been used to outline the drawing of the horse's head and neck, scoring the oil paint right back to the priming. | Subjects: | animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Géricault, Théodore (French painter and draftsman, 1791-1824) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8295... | Go to resource |
