Nobleman on Horseback

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A nobleman wearing a turban rides a horse to the left. He has a mustache and wears a necklace and sleeveless tunic. He holds the reins and bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right. A quiver full of arrows hangs at his right hip. Three tassels hang from either side of the horse's saddle. A man sits behind to the left. The drawing is on tan paper and has a sepia tone.
