About this work

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a chaotic scene featuring three horses and a rider, with a shadowy figure seated below, partially obscured by the turmoil. The horses appear frenzied, their bodies contorted and dynamic.

Corinth employed rapid, irregular strokes to convey a sense of movement and tension, leaving the scene raw and unrefined. The expressive lines contribute to the overall feeling of urgency and energy.
