About this work

This sketch shows a chaotic scene of horses and riders tangled in what looks like barbed wire or thorny branches. The lines are scratchy and uneven, giving everything a rough, urgent feel. The horses’ legs twist around each other, and the riders seem caught in a struggle. The title at the bottom hints at something dark—*"The Bones Are All Inside"*—but the image itself is all movement and tension. The artist used a method that leaves deep, jagged marks in the paper. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one create layered, textured prints.
