Description

Oil on oval panel (slightly convex) - 54.5 x 46 cm - restored and in good condition - Above the signature, a portion of the panel has been reattached and restored according to proper techniques, remaining very slightly visible - Perched atop a harnessed Arabian thoroughbred, a barefoot, helmeted rider sits on a tiger skin as a saddle - He holds the reins in his right hand and his lance in his left - In the foreground, a duck splashes in the reeds of a watering hole, while in the background other riders are about to join the battle - A finely executed work on this theme dear to Orientalists (in the spirit of Delacroix) by an artist little known for having traveled to the Orient and better known for his landscapes in the style of the Barbizon School - Compare to one of his works entitled "Horsemen" and held at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Pau -
