This drawing shows a boy leading a horse through shallow water. The horse lifts its hoof, and the boy holds its reins, looking back at something. In the background, two other people ride horses across a grassy, rocky field. The artist focused on the boy’s steady grip and the horse’s strong legs, making the scene feel lively. The lines are simple but full of movement, especially in the horse’s mane and the water’s ripples. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
