About this work

The painting shows two men on horseback, dressed in old-fashioned armor. They look like they're from a long time ago. You can see the details of their clothes and horses. The interesting thing about this work is that it's very detailed and small. It's like a tiny window into the past. To learn more about how this was made, look into the technique: etching.
