This painting shows a rider on a white horse holding a long spear. The rider wears a simple robe and a halo, and the horse has a green saddle. In the background, a building with a tower and a person waving stand out against a blue sky with orange clouds. The rider’s pose looks ready for battle, but the colors are flat and bright, like a folk drawing. The horse’s muscles are drawn with simple lines, almost like a sketch. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
