Gezadeld paard en paard zonder zadel c. 1654 - 1670

Richard Gaywood's "Gezadeld paard en paard zonder zadel" (c. 1654-1670) is a detailed etching depicting two horses in dynamic poses. One horse, saddled and bridled, stands with its head lowered while the other rears up, its back leg raised high, creating a sense of dramatic energy. The composition is dominated by these two main figures, with smaller horses in the background adding depth and context to the scene. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and texture, contributing to the realistic depiction of the horses. This artwork is held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
