About the piece

Attributed to Abraham van Calraet, this 1722 oil on panel painting depicts a tranquil outdoor riding lesson. The composition balances the dark, textured foliage of large trees with an airy, cloud-filled sky, highlighting the interaction between the riders and their well-groomed horses in a heritage landscape setting characteristic of the Dutch tradition.
