This sketch shows a dark, tangled scene with three horses and a rider. The lines are rough and scratchy, almost like hurried scribbles. The horses look wild, their bodies twisted and full of energy, while the rider clings on. Below them, a shadowy figure sits on the ground, half-hidden by the chaos. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to create movement and tension. The lines don’t smooth out anything—they make the scene feel urgent and alive. Next, look up Lovis Corinth to see more of his bold, expressive style.
