About this work

You see a drawing of a rocky landscape with a rider on a steep path. The drawing shows a lot of detail, with trees and rocks along the path. It looks like the artist spent time thinking about how to show depth and distance in the picture. This drawing is similar to work by other artists who use detailed techniques, like cross-hatching, to create texture and shading, which is a technique used by artist: Chinnery, George.
