About this work

This engraving depicts a young man, likely a king, riding a horse. He is dressed in a hat, a long coat, and a sword at his side. The horse is adorned with a saddle and reins, and the background features a landscape with trees and hills. The engraving is rendered in a romantic style, with intricate details and textures. The use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this engraving, which is a notable example of Romanticism.
