About this work

This sketch shows a person riding a horse. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles. The horse’s mane and tail are drawn with long, slanted strokes, while the rider’s clothes and posture are simple but clear. The drawing uses a mix of dark and light lines to show shadows and shapes. The paper looks old, with some smudges and uneven edges. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
