Two Sketches; Armed Riders and Figure on the Ground 

This dynamic sketch, possibly a preparatory study for a larger work, showcases the expressive and gestural style of Eugène Delacroix. It depicts a scene of action, likely inspired by historical or literary sources. The top section shows figures in a chaotic flurry, while the bottom depicts an armed rider on horseback, perhaps charging into battle. Delacroix's use of bold lines and expressive hatching captures the energy and drama of the scene, highlighting his masterful ability to convey movement and emotion through simple marks on paper.
