"The Small Horse" (German: "Das kleine Pferd") is a copper engraving created by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer in 1505. This work is one of Dürer's most celebrated engravings and exemplifies his skill in rendering detail and his understanding of proportion and anatomy. The piece measures approximately 16.5 cm × 11.5 cm and is part of a series of engravings that showcase Dürer's interest in animals and his mastery of the engraving medium.

In "The Small Horse," Dürer depicts a delicately proportioned horse standing in profile, with a landscape that includes a distant city and a body of water in the background. The horse is shown with a high level of detail, from the texture of its mane and tail to the musculature and veins visible beneath its skin. The animal's pose is both naturalistic and idealized, reflecting Dürer's studies of classical sculpture and his interest in the principles of beauty and harmony as espoused by Italian Renaissance artists.

The engraving is notable for its use of hatching and cross-hatching to create tonal variations and depth, a technique that Dürer mastered and which contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost printmakers of his time. "The Small Horse" is often contrasted with another of Dürer's engravings, "The Large Horse" (also known as "The Great Horse"), which was created in the same year and displays a more robust and powerful animal.

"The Small Horse" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its reflection of Dürer's contributions to the Northern Renaissance. It is part of the collections of several major museums and has been widely reproduced and studied. The engraving continues to be admired for its beauty and precision, and it remains an important example of Dürer's technical skill and his enduring influence on the art of engraving.
