Ruiter rijdt een poort binnen c. 1895 - 1930

"Ruiter rijdt een poort binnen," a dynamic black and white drawing by Georges d'Espagnat, captures a dramatic moment of a rider on horseback entering a dark archway. The expressive lines and strong contrasts create a sense of movement and tension. The rider's cloak billows in the wind as the horse strides forward, its powerful form emphasized by the artist's use of light and shadow. This piece, created around 1895-1930, is a testament to d'Espagnat's skill in capturing the energy and drama of a fleeting moment, showcasing his mastery of the expressive possibilities of drawing.
