"Ridder te paard voor kasteel" is an illustration by Johann Wilhelm (I) Kaiser, created in 1842. The artwork depicts a knight on horseback riding towards a castle, surrounded by other figures in a scene of possible battle or conflict. The illustration was likely commissioned for the book "De Jonkvrouw en de Page" by G.P.R. James, a historical romance set in the 14th century. It was published in Amsterdam in 1842 by M.H. Binger. Kaiser's drawing exhibits detailed representation of period attire and architecture, demonstrating the artist's talent for capturing the visual elements of historical narratives. The illustration is a fine example of the use of art to visualize fictional stories during the 19th century.
