Two Horsemen on a Rocky Path

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a landscape with a low horizon, revealing a distant cityscape with rooftops and a spire. The sky has light clouds. The technique used appears to be an etching with intricate lines and cross-hatching. In the foreground, there are rocky formations, two figures, and horses on a path. Behind them, there are dense trees with detailed, swirling lines for texture. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black and white.
