About the piece

Created around 1820, this painting by the French Romantic master Théodore Géricault captures a bay horse named Dervish in a quiet moment within a stall. The work demonstrates Géricault’s profound fascination with equine subjects, rendered here with rich, warm brown tones and a sensitive handling of light and form characteristic of the artist's equestrian studies.
