Cavalry Charge 1624 - 1663

"Cavalry Charge" is a pen and brown ink drawing by Francesco Allegrini, an Italian artist active during the 17th century. It depicts a group of mounted horsemen engaged in battle, with a focus on the dynamism of the figures and their poses. The drawing is a preparatory study for a larger composition and exemplifies the artist's masterful skill in capturing movement. The work is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
