This print shows a cop sitting stiffly on a horse. The horse’s reins are held tight, and the rider wears a helmet with a chin strap. The background is just a simple bench and a fence, all drawn in flat, dark lines. The cop’s face is blurred, almost like a sketch. The whole thing looks a little rough—less detailed than most drawings. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
