About the piece
Created around 1660 by Philips Wouwerman, this masterpiece from the Dutch Golden Age depicts a riding school set against the weathered walls of architectural ruins. The composition expertly balances the vigorous energy of the horses and their trainers with the atmospheric depth of a sunlit, cloud-swept sky, a signature element of Wouwerman's celebrated style.
