Flayed horse with raised right front and left rear feet, open mouth, upright neck and curly tail.The horse is an ecroche, showing the muscles of the animal in detail. The ecorche character gives the sculpture clarity and precision, combined with the grace and beauty of the living animal. This is evidence of a scientific as well as an artistic intention on the part of the artist and reveals the importance to him of the influence and example of Leonardo da Vinci.The horse bears a close relationship to several drawings by Da Vinci.University of Edinburgh, Art Collections: EU0643
