The Polish Rider

The Polish Rider shows a mounted horseman in a pale green, ornamented tunic and red trousers, riding a white horse across a dark, rugged landscape with a distant ruin. He grips the reins and has a quiver and bow attached to the saddle, suggesting martial gear. The composition is diagonally structured, with strong chiaroscuro and a warm earthy palette—muted browns and ochres contrasting with the pale horse—producing a moody Baroque atmosphere and painterly, energetic brushwork.
