En kosak, der stiger til hest 1813

"En kosak, der stiger til hest" (A Cossack Mounting a Horse) is an etching created by Danish artist Christian David Gebauer in 1813. The work depicts a Cossack soldier in traditional attire, mounting a horse while holding a spear. The image is drawn in simple lines and the details are sparse, but the scene is visually strong. This small work, with its characteristically crisp lines, is a good example of Gebauer's skillful use of etching technique. The artwork is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen.
