Ruiter te paard bij een wegwijzerbord 1860

"Ruiter te paard bij een wegwijzerbord" (Rider on Horseback at a Signpost) is an etching created in 1860 by the Belgian artist Jan Stobbaerts. The small-scale print, measuring only 64 mm in height and 92 mm in width, depicts a rider on horseback pausing at a crossroads, likely contemplating which path to take. The simple yet evocative scene is characteristic of Stobbaerts's oeuvre, which often focused on everyday rural life and landscapes. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading contribute to a sense of tranquility and realism, making it a charming example of 19th-century printmaking.
