A man and his horse perch on a rocky river’s edge. The figure stands alert, carefully surveying his surroundings. The water below is lively but dark in the shadow of surrounding forest trees. The artist has beautifully captured bright, early morning light. Sunshine washes over every tree and rock face within its reach, creating a satisfying line between light and shadow which spans from the top left to bottom right corner.
