About the piece
Dating to approximately 1730, this refined oil painting depicts the discipline of Haute Ecole dressage. A rider dressed in a brilliant scarlet coat and tricorn hat guides a muscular dappled grey horse through a passage maneuver alongside a textured brick wall. The contrast between the animal's powerful form, the rider's bold attire, and the atmospheric, clouded sky captures the elegance and prestige of 18th-century British sporting life.
