A Beggar Kisses the Foot of the Prince’s Horse
View through Harvard Museums
In the center of this drawing, a young prince rides a beautiful stallion. The youth watches and gestures toward a barefoot man who kneels to kiss the foot of the stallion. An emaciated nag stands behind the kneeling man. This nuanced line drawing conveys the psychological characteristics of the different personages of the prince and the poor man.
