This etching by Jean Moyreau, created sometime between 1733 and 1762, depicts a group of horsemen stopping to let their steeds drink from a river. The composition is dominated by a dramatic bridge spanning the river, its stone arches providing a sense of grandeur and scale. The horses are depicted with a naturalistic detail that highlights Moyreau's keen eye for observation. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this etching is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch art, capturing a scene of leisure and social activity.
