Study of a rider 1504

Leonardo da Vinci's "Study of a rider" (1504) is a pen and ink drawing on paper, showcasing the artist's mastery of anatomical study and draftsmanship. Da Vinci, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail, used a series of lines to capture the dynamic pose of a horse, perhaps intended for a larger equestrian monument. This preliminary study, a testament to his tireless pursuit of realism, exemplifies the artist's innovative approach to art, bridging the gap between scientific observation and artistic expression.
