A Horse Bound to a Post

Dirck Stoop

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a side view perspective of a horse in the foreground with detailed linework, cross-hatching for depth and texture. A second horse carrying a person and a man interacting with a dog are also visible. The background shows diminishing hills and sparse nature elements. The sky features lightly etched clouds. The color palette is monochromatic with black on off-white paper.
