Takhi Horse Head Study


For several years I have been researching the Takhi (Przewalski Horse) at Zoos and Natural History Museums in the States. My friend is a zookeeper at the WCS's Bronx Zoo. He has generously aided me in my visual explorations. This color pencil head study is based on some of his photographs! My studies are in preparation for a future expedition to the Mongolian steppe to observe these ancient wild horses in their native habitat.
