Two Figures on Horseback, a Soldier Walking Behind 1600 - 1700

"Two Figures on Horseback, a Soldier Walking Behind" is a pen and brown ink drawing created between 1600 and 1700 by Stefano della Bella, an Italian artist who specialized in etching and drawing. This artwork captures the essence of Italian Baroque style through its dynamic composition, detailed figures, and masterful use of line. Della Bella's attention to detail is evident in the flowing lines of the horses and the intricate folds of the soldiers' garments. The sketch-like nature of the piece suggests a fleeting moment, perhaps a scene from a battle or a grand procession. This drawing offers a glimpse into the world of 17th-century military life and the artistic mastery of Stefano della Bella.
