About this work

This sketch shows a knight on a galloping horse, charging forward with a raised sword. The scene looks stormy, with swirling clouds and dark lines around them. The edges of the paper are filled with loose, sketchy marks—like wind or movement. The artist used a mix of techniques to layer inks and textures, making the print look almost like a stormy sketchbook page. The name "Buhot" is signed in the print, and the title hints at a story about two characters. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this create layered prints.
