This etching, "Hungarian Horseman Riding towards the Right," is part of Stefano della Bella's series "Figures on Horseback." Created between 1646 and 1656, the print features a detailed depiction of a Hungarian horseman, shown in profile, riding powerfully towards the right. The circular composition, typical of della Bella's work, gives the image a sense of dynamism and emphasizes the rider's movement. Two other horsemen in the background provide context and scale, showcasing della Bella's mastery of line and detail, characteristic of his Barocque style.
