Artist, German, 1858 - 1925

This is a drawing of horses and riders. The sketch depicts three horses with riders on their backs, drawn in a loose style using quick, fluid lines. The figures are suggested rather than fully rendered, capturing a sense of movement and spontaneity. The use of minimal lines conveys the essential forms and actions of the horses and riders. The background is sparse, focusing attention on the central figures and their interaction.
