Ruiter in medaillon 1778 - 1838

"Ruiter in medaillon" (Rider in a Medallion) is a pencil drawing by Anthonie van den Bos, completed sometime between 1778 and 1838. The drawing depicts a rider on horseback in a circular frame, surrounded by a landscape featuring trees, a church, and other figures. The rider appears to be saluting, perhaps acknowledging the viewer. The drawing is a fine example of van den Bos’s skill in capturing the details of a scene and creating a sense of depth and realism. The drawing is held by the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
