The Little Courier

About this work

The image shows a man on horseback, holding a bow and arrow. He's wearing a fur-lined hat and a tunic, and his horse is running through a body of water. The man appears to be a messenger or courier, and the scene looks like it's set in a natural landscape. The engraving technique used here creates a lot of detailed lines and shading.
