Rijdende artillerie in draf 1857 - 1916

Willem Constantijn Staring, a Dutch artist born in 1847 and died in 1916, created a detailed pen and ink drawing titled "Rijdende artillerie in draf" between 1857 and 1916. The artwork depicts a soldier riding a horse-drawn artillery carriage, with the horses' legs captured in a dynamic, galloping motion. The simple composition and precise lines give the drawing a sense of realism, while the artist's skillful depiction of the scene provides an insight into 19th-century military life.
