This print shows five soldiers riding horses in a line. They wear tall hats and dark uniforms, and their horses’ legs move fast. The ground looks rough, with lots of short lines to show movement. The artist used a technique where ink is scratched into metal plates to create the image. This makes the lines look sharp and the shading uneven. Check out etching to see how this print was made.
