Twee soldaten te paard 1821 - 1827

"Twee soldaten te paard" is a detailed etching by Johannes Mock, depicting two mounted soldiers galloping across a landscape. Created between 1821-1827, the artwork showcases Mock's skill in rendering both the intricate details of the soldiers' uniforms and the dynamic energy of the horses in motion. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Mock's talent for capturing military scenes with a blend of realism and artistic flair. The etching is a small-scale work, measuring 103 mm in height and 140 mm in width, yet its impact is magnified by the meticulous detail and the sense of movement conveyed.
