Schets van een ridder te paard c. 1755 - 1760

This watercolor sketch, "Schets van een ridder te paard" ("Sketch of a Knight on Horseback"), was created by Dutch artist Jan Brandes around 1755-1760. The drawing depicts a knight in full armor, mounted on a horse and wielding a lance. The detailed depiction of the armor and the knight's pose suggests Brandes's keen interest in historical subjects. The composition, with its focus on the knight's figure, is characteristic of the 18th century Dutch art scene.
