Boy on a high horse 1518

"Boy on a High Horse," a 1518 drawing by German Renaissance artist Hans Schäufelein, depicts a young boy astride a rearing horse. The boy is dressed in a simple garment and gestures upwards with his left hand. The horse is finely detailed, with intricate harness and a decorative plume. The drawing's composition is dynamic, capturing the energy of the boy and the horse. This work is housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt.
