Man and Veiled Woman on Horseback is a 1820 ink by Aleksandr Osipovich Orlovskii, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts a man and a veiled woman riding horseback through a mountainous landscape. The woman, dressed in a long robe and headscarf, sits sidesaddle on the left horse, while the man, wearing a fur hat and coat, rides the right horse. Both horses are in mid-gallop, their manes and tails flowing in the wind. In the background, rocky mountains rise up, with trees and bushes dotting the landscape. The sky above is cloudy, with a few wispy clouds drifting across it. The scene is rendered in a romanticized style, with bold lines and dramatic lighting.
