Model of Half a Horse

To clearly communicate my intentions to the youth, I have placed here a model of half a horse by Rolando Zavarì, drawn from life. This is so those who wish to artistically represent horses in a larger format can better understand all the muscles, veins, and arteries of the head, neck, and joints. This approach allows one to effectively illustrate in a larger size what may be subtle or detailed in a smaller representation.

Here is depicted half of a horse.

In order to better express my intention to the youth, I have placed here half of a horse, depicted from life by the learned Rolant Zavarì. This is so those practicing horseback riding can better understand the muscles, arteries, veins of the head and neck, and joints and elegance. It is easier to display these subtleties in large than in small formats.

Here is shown half a horse.

To better express my message to the youth, I have here shown half a horse, depicted by Roelant Zavari, drawn from life. Those who wish to practice with horses can understand clearly all the muscles, veins, and tendons from the head and neck, and all the connections and joints are better in the large than seen from a small perspective.

To better express for the youth, here I portray half a horse by Rolant Zavaÿri, reflected accurately from life: so those who practice with horses can observe the features of the neck, the arrangement of the head, and the subtleties of the joints depicted in as large and small as possible.

Translation Notes

Rolando Zavarì and Rolant Zavarì are the same reference to an artist, possibly an older spelling of the name. Some interpretations of terms like "joints" and "elegance" can be translated differently for artistic anatomical context.
