This sketch shows two men with horses. One man stands with his back to us, holding a horse’s bridle. The horse has a feathered headpiece and looks alert. In the background, another man rides a horse, also wearing a feathered hat. The artist focused on quick, sketchy lines to show movement and texture. The horses’ feathers and the men’s clothes have fine details, but the faces stay simple. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
