Mythological Figure on Horseback (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch on white paper of a person on horseback facing left. The person wears a long robe and appears to have short hair. The horse's head is pointed to the left. The background shows a subtle horizon line with shading suggesting hills or mountains behind the horse. The paper containing the sketch is slightly off-center on a larger piece of white paper with darker edges.
