In southwest Iceland, amidst the breathtaking beauty of June, an Icelandic horse playfully indulges in some nibbling on the back of its equine companion.

This oil painting on panel immortalizes their intricate movements and reminds us that even small creatures find joy in simple pleasures. From woodblock prints to oil canvases, artists have long been fascinated by the whimsical act of nibbling. A colorful mouse relishes a carrot's sweetness while a rabbit savors every brushstroke depicting its furry form.

Quadrupeds of America captures not only the creature's physicality but also its innate instinct for survival through nibbling.
