About this work

This drawing shows a rider on a rearing horse, both outlined in thin, sketchy lines. The background is a plain tan color, and the whole thing looks like it was made with pencil or something similar. The horse’s mane and tail are drawn in quick, wavy strokes, and the rider holds a long object, maybe a spear or stick. The weird thing is how it’s made—it looks like the artist used cigarettes to draw some of the lines, giving them a slightly uneven, smudged look. The paper has a rough, textured feel to it, too.
