About this work

This sketch shows a dark, stormy night with twisted trees and a lone figure riding a horse. The rider is hunched forward, almost blending into the horse’s shape. The background is a blur of rain and wind, with only the trees and a few scattered bushes standing out. The artist used quick, rough lines to make everything feel urgent and alive. The horse’s legs are barely sketched, adding to the sense of speed. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
