Isabella, a figure garbed in traditional riding attire, including a poncho, riding a horse through what appears to be a sparse landscape.
The composition focuses tightly on Isabella and her horse, both rendered with meticulous attention to texture and shading. The horse’s musculature and the folds of Isabella’s clothing are particularly well-defined, showcasing Wheeler’s skill with graphite to create realistic and detailed images.
The background is minimally detailed, providing a stark contrast that highlights the central figure and her mount. The expression on Isabella’s face is one of serene contemplation, suggesting a narrative of travel or exploration.
“…she could ride off the paper at any moment.”
“…classic beauty and quiet strength.”
“…traditional portraiture mixed with a hint of narrative intrigue.”
