Moorish Cavalier is a 1637 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a man riding a horse. He wears a feathered hat and a long coat, holding a bow and arrow in his right hand. The horse has a flowing mane and tail, with its front legs raised as if it's about to jump. In the background, people sit or stand, with buildings and hills in the distance. The rider and horse are the main focus, but the background adds depth to the scene. The etching technique gives the image a detailed, textured look.
