"Vier ruiters" (Four Riders), an etching created in 1875 by J. Ursel, depicts a group of riders silhouetted against a distant, hazy horizon. The composition features a simple landscape, emphasizing the riders' journey and their relationship to the vastness of the surrounding environment. This small-scale work, measuring just 58 mm high and 95 mm wide, exemplifies the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey a sense of scale and atmosphere through minimalist means.
