Riding School and Horses 1806

"Riding School and Horses" (1806) is an etching by Johann Adolph Darnstedt, a German artist known for his detailed depictions of horses and riders. The print showcases a horse and its rider in the foreground, with other riders and horses visible in the distance. The scene is set in a riding school, with a brick wall and a cloudy sky providing context. Darnstedt's careful rendering of the horse's anatomy and the rider's attire creates a sense of realism and captures the dynamism of equestrian activity. The print exemplifies the popularity of equine subjects in art during the 19th century.
