Erlangen Students on Horseback is a 1811 ink by Johann Adam Klein, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men riding horses along a path. One wears a tall hat and a long coat, holding a cane, while the other has a cap and a shorter jacket. The horses are mid-step, and the background has simple trees and a fence. The artist used a quick, sketchy style to show movement and mood. The lines are loose, almost like a hurried drawing, which fits the lively scene. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
