Charge is a 1803 ink by Robert Ker, Sir Porter, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a dramatic scene of a man on horseback, charging forward with his sword raised high. The horse is in mid-gallop, its legs extended as it leaps over a rocky terrain. The rider, dressed in a long coat and hat, appears to be in the midst of battle. In the background, a figure can be seen falling to the ground, while another person is shown standing to the right, watching the scene unfold. The overall mood of the image is one of action and intensity, with the use of bold lines and dark shading adding to the sense of drama.
