Cossack Horses in a Courtyard is a 1818 ink by Johann Adam Klein, a Romanticism work, depicting Equestrianism, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two Cossacks standing beside nervous horses in a shadowy courtyard. A wooden fence and a small building appear in the background. The artist made many prints of soldiers and animals. This one feels alive because the horses look ready to bolt. The light hits their coats just right, giving them texture. Look up Klein, Johann Adam next time you're at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
