Artist, British, 1886 - 1966

This is a drawing of horses pulling a carriage in a darkly lit environment. The composition shows two horses in motion, drawing a carriage towards the left side of the image. The use of cross-hatching and varying line density creates contrast between the illuminated horses and the dark surroundings. The technique gives a sense of depth and texture, depicting shadows and light. The background is largely obscured and dark.
