"Steekspeler en page te paard in fantasiekostuum, aangeduid als 'Indiens'" is an etching by the French artist François Chauveau, created in 1670. The artwork depicts two figures, a "steekspeler" (fencer) and a "page" (attendant), both dressed in elaborate, fantastical costumes and riding horses, possibly meant to represent "Indians." The intricate details of the figures' clothing and the dynamic poses of the horses give the work a sense of movement and theatricality. The etching is a prime example of Chauveau's skilled hand and the popular artistic style of the 17th century.
