This red chalk drawing by Adriaen van de Velde depicts a peasant riding a horse. The rider holds a sack over the horse's back, suggesting a simple farmer or worker. The drawing's composition is focused on the man and horse, with minimal background detail, characteristic of van de Velde's style. This drawing showcases the artist's ability to capture movement and form with masterful precision, creating a lifelike depiction of a common, yet important, element of Dutch rural life.
