Ruiter op staand paard in medaillon 1778 - 1838

This small, delicate etching by Anthonie van den Bos, a prominent Dutch artist of the 18th century, depicts a rider on horseback in a circular frame. Created between 1778 and 1838, the artwork showcases van den Bos's mastery of line and detail. The composition is simple yet elegant, with the rider's figure dominating the foreground. The surrounding landscape, hinted at in the background, adds depth and context to the scene. This small-scale piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the versatility of etching and its ability to capture both the dynamism of movement and the tranquility of the countryside.
