This graphite drawing represents the culmination of the flehmen series, capturing a moment of profound sensory alteration. The horse's expression, with the tongue slightly exposed, suggests an almost transcendental experience of olfactory perception. The artist has expertly balanced the power of the musculature with the delicacy of the head, transforming the purely instinctive act into an emotional and visually engaging statement.
