Ruiter te paard in een landschap Possibly 1651

"Ruiter te paard in een landschap" (Rider on Horseback in a Landscape) is a drawing by Dutch Golden Age painter Harmen ter Borch, dated to 1651. The drawing depicts a rider on horseback, viewed from behind, with a simple landscape sketched behind them. This is a typical example of ter Borch's loose and expressive style, where he focuses on capturing the movement and energy of the figure, with only a suggestion of the surrounding environment. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's ability to capture a fleeting moment in a minimalist way.
