Zwei furagierende Reiter mit drei Pferden 1697

"Zwei furagierende Reiter mit drei Pferden" (Two Foraging Riders with Three Horses), a 1697 pen and ink drawing by Georg Philipp Rugendas, depicts a scene of everyday life in the 17th century. The artist, known for his detailed depictions of horses and landscapes, captures the moment two men on horseback pause to allow their animals to graze. The drawing, now housed at the Städel Museum, is a testament to Rugendas' skill in capturing the natural world through meticulous lines and subtle shading. This work offers insight into the artist's mastery of animal anatomy and his keen observation of the details of daily life.
