About the piece

Painted in 1833 by Polish artist Piotr Michałowski, this equestrian study captures a cuirassier in full military regalia. The work is characterized by its bold, energetic brushstrokes and a muted, moody palette that emphasizes the glint of the soldier's armor and the steady presence of the bay horse.
