This sketch shows a man riding a white horse. He wears a red coat with gold buttons, a black hat with a plume, and tall black boots. The horse has a green saddle blanket and is trotting. The background is plain, so all the focus is on the rider and horse. The handwriting at the bottom says "im feit 1807," which means it was made in 1807. The style looks simple but carefully drawn, with clear lines and soft shading. Want to know more? Check out Romanticism.
