Cavallo leggiero 1598

This woodcut by Christoph Krieger, titled "Cavallo leggiero," depicts a knight on horseback. The knight is dressed in full armor and is holding a sword. The horse is rearing up on its hind legs, and the knight is leaning forward as if about to charge. The image is framed by a decorative border, and the word "Cavallo" is printed above the scene. The artwork was created in 1598 and measures 167 mm in height by 125 mm in width. Woodcut was a popular printmaking technique during the Renaissance, especially for book illustrations. Krieger's work exemplifies the detailed and expressive style of the period.
