"Ryttare" (English: "Rider") is a renowned watercolor painting by the Swedish artist John Bauer, best known for his illustrations of Swedish folklore and fairy tales. Created in 1917, this artwork is a testament to Bauer's fascination with the mystical and his adeptness at blending elements of nature with the ethereal. The painting depicts a solitary rider, shrouded in mystery, traversing through a dense, primeval forest, which is a recurring theme in Bauer's work. The rider's ambiguous form and the atmospheric depth of the forest capture the viewer's imagination, inviting interpretations that often delve into the realms of fantasy and myth.

John Bauer (1882–1918) was a pivotal figure in Swedish art, particularly in the early 20th century, and his work is characterized by a unique style that combines Art Nouveau influences with a distinctive Nordic character. "Ryttare" is considered one of his significant works, showcasing his skill in creating a mood of enchantment and his ability to convey the profound silence and grandeur of the Swedish woodlands. Bauer's tragic death at the age of 36 in a shipwreck, along with his family, adds a poignant note to his legacy, making pieces like "Ryttare" cherished remnants of his brief but impactful career.

The painting is held in high esteem both for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that reflects the Swedish national romanticism of the time. It continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the visual arts and for its influence on later generations of artists who draw inspiration from Bauer's interpretation of Scandinavian folklore and landscapes. "Ryttare" remains an enduring piece of Sweden's artistic heritage and is frequently exhibited in art galleries and museums that house collections of John Bauer's work.
