A Company of Horsemen c. 1510

"A Company of Horsemen" is a pen and ink drawing on paper by Battista Franco, an Italian painter and draughtsman, created circa 1510. The artwork depicts a group of horsemen in a procession, a common subject in Renaissance art. The drawing is notable for its fluid lines and sense of movement. It's currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago. This is a preparatory drawing likely intended for a larger painting, highlighting Franco's mastery of human anatomy and skillful portrayal of movement in figures.
