Amazone 1890

"Amazone" is a drawing on paper by American artist John-Lewis Brown, executed in 1890. The work portrays a woman, depicted in profile, in riding attire mounted on a white horse. The composition is simplified with only a minimal background, focusing on the figure and her steed. This work is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Brown's use of pencil and charcoal create a sense of movement and captures the essence of equestrianism, showcasing the fashionable attire of the late 19th century.
