Edward Hopper

(Don Quixote on Horseback)
c. 1902–1904

A monochromatic painting depicting a figure on horseback, rendered in expressive brushstrokes primarily in black and white. The rider, who appears to be a man with a beard, is holding a long staff or spear aloft, and the horse is captured mid-stride. The background is indistinct, suggesting a tumultuous atmosphere.
