Three figures on horseback with indications at right 1833 - 1898

This pencil sketch, "Three Figures on Horseback with Indications at Right" by Félicien Rops, is a depiction of three figures on horseback in an outdoor setting. The sketch is a quick study, displaying Rops's talent for capturing the essence of a scene with a few lines. The figures are rendered with minimal detail, but their forms are clearly discernible. The overall composition is simple, with the figures dominating the center of the page. Rops's signature style is evident in the use of light and shadow, which creates a sense of depth and movement. The piece, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to the artist's mastery of drawing.
