Turbaned Soldier on Horseback

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a rider on a horse from behind. The person is seated upright on the horse, holding a long stick over their shoulder. The rider's face is not visible, and their clothing appears loose and flowing. The horse's front and hind legs are shown, with its tail drawn in flowing lines. To the left, there are loosely sketched shapes suggesting two additional figures. The background includes minimal details like foliage or trees.
