About this work

This sketch shows two horses and riders tangled in a fall. The lines are loose and quick, like hurried strokes. The paper is light beige, and the drawing sits on the back of another sheet—you can see the edge of it at the top. The horses’ legs and reins twist together, making the scene look chaotic but alive. The artist didn’t smooth out the lines, leaving some smudges and uneven marks. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more sketches like this.
