This etching shows a long line of riders on horseback, all facing the same way. They wear big hats with feathers, fancy coats, and boots. Some hold reins or carry sticks. The horses look strong, with thick legs and flowing manes. The scene is drawn in black lines on a light background, with no color. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the metal plate, creating the lines. This method is called etching. Next, look up etching to see how it works.
