Two Cossacks on Horseback

Aleksandr Orlowski

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of two men on horseback. The men are wearing traditional Cossack clothing, with fur hats, long coats, and boots. The man on the left is holding a smoking pipe to his mouth. Both horses are saddled and bridled. The horse on the left is brown, the one on the right is light brown. In the background, there are mountains, a cloudy sky, trees, and a castle or fortress on top of a hill. The drawing has a thin black border and a beige background around it. The drawing appears to be an engraving or etching. The style and shading suggest it was created by hand.
