Woman with Her Horse, 2024

7 × 9 inches | Graphite on paper

This intimate graphite drawing depicts a woman standing closely beside her horse, their faces nearly touching, united in a moment of quiet companionship. The woman’s expression is calm and inward, while the horse’s eye mirrors her presence with gentleness and attentiveness. The closeness of the figures creates a sense of trust and familiarity, as if the two share a private understanding beyond words.

Rendered entirely in graphite, the drawing emphasizes tonal subtlety and texture. Soft gradations of gray model the faces and hair, while delicate crosshatching and layered shading give depth to the surrounding foliage. The absence of color heightens the emotional restraint of the scene, allowing form, gaze, and proximity to carry the narrative.

Part of Amalia’s ongoing exploration of women and animals as companions rather than symbols, Woman with Her Horse reflects a recurring theme in her work: intimacy without spectacle, strength expressed through closeness. This original, one of a kind drawing will appeal to collectors drawn to classical draftsmanship, quiet emotion, and images that feel personal and timeless.
