Il Greco in Troia: Plate 2 is a 1688 ink by Arnold von Westerhout, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a large horse standing in front of a grand building with tall columns and arched windows. A man in old-fashioned clothes walks toward the horse, leading a smaller horse by a rope. In the background, there’s a crowd of tiny figures near a temple-like structure with statues on top. The horse’s size and the dramatic lighting make it stand out. The buildings look like they’re from ancient Rome, but this is actually a Baroque-era print. Look up etching to see how artists like Westerhout made detailed prints like this.
