"Figures at right near a ship, some holding up animals over their heads, a horse at left" is an etching by Daniel Berger, created in 1783. The scene depicts a group of figures standing near a ship, with a horse at the left side of the image. The figures appear to be offering animals as sacrifices, suggesting a religious or ceremonial context. The etching is characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures and their surroundings, as well as the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth. Berger's work is significant for its contribution to the development of etching as a fine art medium. This etching is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
