Pieter Nolpe after Jan Martsen

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a group of riders on horseback. The image shows riders wearing elaborate outfits, with large plumed hats, all mounted on horses. They are arranged in a procession across the composition. The background is primarily a lightly textured sky, with a suggestion of clouds. The horses are depicted with a sense of movement and the scene is rendered in detailed line work.
