Stefano della Bella’s “Procession of Six Horsemen in Profile View Facing Left” is a 17th-century drawing depicting six figures on horseback in profile, moving in the same direction. This dynamic composition, likely a preliminary sketch for a larger work, showcases the artist's mastery of capturing movement and anatomical detail. Della Bella's quick lines and fluid gestures create a sense of energy and momentum. The drawing, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the creative process of a renowned Baroque artist.
