Sketches of Horses and Riders (recto)
1604
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketches of Horses and Riders (recto) is a 1604 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows quick, rough drawings of horses and riders on worn paper. The lines are light brown, almost faded, with some smudges and stains. One horse stands still, another rears up, and a third has a rider leaning forward. There’s also a loose sketch of a person riding sideways. The paper looks old, with edges torn and spots where the ink has bled. These kinds of drawings were often used by artists to practice or plan bigger works. Next, check out Baroque to see how this sketch’s energy fits into that style.
