From "Bizzarie di varie Figure"

Giovanni Battista Bracelli

National Gallery of Art

The image displays intersecting ladder-like shapes and lines forming an abstract representation of a horse and a human figure. The structures are composed of repeating rectangular segments connected at angles. This abstract arrangement resembles a human wearing a hat and a horse, depicted in a surreal and geometric fashion, with the horse appearing suspended or in motion.
