This sketch shows a man riding a horse. The rider wears a dark coat, a cap, and tall boots. The horse stands still, its head turned slightly to the side. The background is plain, with no extra details. The artist used a technique that creates fine lines and shading. This makes the horse and rider look solid yet simple. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one make detailed prints.
