A dynamic composition in ink and tempera, Marino Marini's *Cavallo e Cavaliere* depicts the timeless bond between horse and rider rendered in bold, expressive strokes. The work reflects Marini's lifelong fascination with this archetypal subject, balancing raw gestural energy with a sense of ancient, mythic weight. His interplay of line and color conveys both the tension and harmony between figure and beast, evoking themes of struggle, vulnerability, and human connection to nature.
