This black-and-white picture shows a rider on a galloping horse, kicking up dirt. In the background, a small house sits near a few bare trees. The sky is full of swirling clouds, and a person lies sprawled on the ground in the foreground. The artist used bold lines to make the scene feel fast and dramatic. The horse’s muscles and the rider’s posture look tense, like they’re moving quickly. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
