"Verschijning van ruiters boven Jeruzalem" (Appearance of Horsemen Above Jerusalem) is a 1538 woodcut by Veit Rudolf Specklin, a German artist active in the 16th century. The artwork depicts a walled city with a tall tower and a group of horsemen riding above in the clouds. The woodcut's simple, linear style exemplifies the graphic traditions of 16th-century German art, characterized by its focus on clarity and detail. Specklin's work, though relatively small in scale, offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the period.
