oil, plywood, size 30 x 40 cm, signed l. d. "Jerzy Kossak"
An oft-repeated and recognizable subject - a lone rider, a lancer notches the forest wall, escaping on horseback at a gallop and shooting at a pack of wolves. Wild animals attack him fiercely in the snowy scenery of a vast plateau, with single roadside willows. The scene is dynamic and full of terror, the horse shown naturalistically in a frenzied rush, saving the rider's life and his own.
