Inktober 18: Saddle

Inktober 18: Saddle

I can’t remember the last time I tried to draw a horse, but I am pleased with his “is everything okay back there?” expression. Of course, he might well be the cause of the trouble.

This is based on the painting La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Frank Dicksee, from about 1901. It, in turn, is based on a poem by the same name by John Keats, in which a fairy beguiles a knight and leads him to his doom. So maybe don’t feel too bad for the predicament of our leading lady.
