About the piece

Created in 1878 by Vojtech Klimkovič, this oil on cardboard work depicts a rider in traditional Eastern European attire galloping through a desolate winter landscape. The composition is charged with movement and atmospheric tension, as the rider looks back across the snowy field while dark birds of prey circle in the heavy, overcast sky.
