"Riding Children in the Forest" is a charcoal drawing by German artist Ludwig von Hofmann, known for his symbolist style. The drawing depicts a scene in a dark, mysterious forest, where a young woman is riding a horse. The composition is loose and suggestive, with the figures appearing almost ghostly in the shadowy landscape. The work suggests a sense of playful abandon and youthful freedom, hinting at a narrative of innocent adventure. It's held in the Städel Museum, showcasing Hofmann's mastery of charcoal, capturing a fleeting moment of youthful energy in a dreamlike forest setting.
