Oroshia|Russian Horseman is a 10 ink by Utagawa Yoshitomi, a Impressionism work, depicting Horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In this woodblock print, a man in a black coat and hat sits on a brown horse, holding a long yellow sword in his right hand. The horse is rearing up on its hind legs, with its front legs raised in the air. The man's face is turned to the left, and he has a mustache and sideburns. The background of the print is a light tan color, with some Japanese writing in the top-right corner. The man's clothing and the style of the horse suggest that this is a portrait of a Russian horseman, possibly from the 19th century. The level of detail in the print, particularly in the horse's mane and the man's facial hair, suggests that it was created using a technique such as cross-hatching.
