1825
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Drawing of a girl on a horse is a 1825 by Daniel Maclise, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a girl riding a horse through a dark, stormy landscape. The horse is big and white, standing out against the muddy brown background. The girl’s clothes are loose, and her hair is blowing in the wind. The drawing looks rough and fast, like it was made quickly. The artist used lots of shading to show movement and mood. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up dark tones with lines.
A pen-and-ink drawing by Daniel Maclise depicts a girl mounted on a horse and is executed on the front of an envelope. The verso bears a red penny stamp and the address 4 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea.
