The Story in the Margin
Dated to about 1827-1829, this graphite drawing depicts a fallen horse and a slain knight, a battlefield subject Delacroix returned to in numerous variations across his career. The glistening highlights on the horse's skin and its flamelike mane are hallmarks that recur throughout his lithographs from the same years, and curators have suggested the drawing may relate to an illustration for Shakespeare's Henry VI. It reflects Delacroix's lasting fascination with violent, dramatic motion and the horse as a Romantic subject in its own right.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

This is the second thing I have bought here and both have been good. The balance of light and dark in Fallen Horse came out better than I expected.
This shop does everything right, from checkout to delivery. The texture in Fallen Horse makes Delacroix feel present in the room. 👌
It made the playroom feel finished in a way I could not manage on my own. The smallest marks in Fallen Horse are still visible, which is the entire point. It has made me a repeat customer already.
Thank you so much, this made our morning. Enjoy it, and send a photo if you ever feel like it.
This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. The clarity of Fallen Horse makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday.
I have bought three of these now for different rooms. The smallest marks in Fallen Horse are still visible, which is the entire point. It has made every other thing in that room look better by association. It has been through a Gulf Coast August with the AC running nonstop and looks exactly the same.
