About this work

This painting shows a man on horseback, dressed like a king. He wears a crown, a long purple robe, and armor over his chest. The horse is dark with red reins and gold decorations. The background is flat and plain, with a few scattered rocks. The man’s face looks serious, and his beard is thick. The horse’s eyes are wide and bright, almost staring at you. This photo might be old, but it’s still clear. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
