Twenty-Four Cavaliers in Double S Formation

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of horses in a dynamic formation. The artwork depicts multiple horses spread across the canvas in a scattered yet organized manner. Each horse is intricately detailed, with flowing manes suggesting a sense of motion. The background is minimal, which emphasizes the lively motion of the horses and provides a sense of spaciousness. The sketchy quality of the lines conveys movement and vitality, as the horses appear in varied postures across the expanse of the canvas.
