About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows three people in a wooded area. One man stands tall, holding a staff and looking down at a smaller figure kneeling by a tree. Another person stands nearby, holding a horse’s reins. The trees are twisted and bare, with rough bark and gnarled branches. The kneeling figure seems to be showing something to the standing man, who wears a fur-lined cloak. The horse stands quietly in the background, adding to the scene’s quiet tension. Next, look up *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see more works like this.
