Cavalryman Mounting a Horse

Luigi Sabatelli I

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a horse and a person in motion. The drawing shows the horse with a flowing mane and a slightly restless posture, along with a tilted head and bent legs indicating movement or agitation. Beside the horse is a figure in a dynamic pose, possibly interacting with or controlling the horse based on their arm and leg positions. The medium is ink on paper, creating a fluid and sketch-like quality, with lines conveying movement and immediacy. The scene captures a moment of action in a minimalistic yet expressive style.
