Artist, German, 1484/1485 - 1545

This is a drawing of a scene featuring a horse and celestial figures. The central figure is a horse rearing up with a rider on its back. In the sky above, there are clouds with beams or rays, and above them are several winged figures. The landscape includes rolling hills, a small town in the background, and trees on the left. The composition is detailed, showing movement in the clouds and the horse's muscles, creating a sense of drama.
