Horseman on a Bridge is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a horseman on a bridge, surrounded by trees and rocks. The horseman is riding towards the right side of the image, with his back turned to the viewer. The bridge is narrow and appears to be made of wood, spanning a small stream or river. In the foreground, there are large rocks and trees, which create a sense of depth and texture in the image. The sky above is filled with clouds, adding to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The use of etching as a technique allows for intricate details and textures to be captured, making this image a great example of Baroque art.
