About the piece

Painted in 1862 by Frederik Storch, this work depicts the legend of Count Otto of Oldenburg. The composition centers on a majestic white horse and its rider holding the famed Oldenburg horn, set against the atmospheric gloom of a Danish forest. The interplay of light on the woman's ethereal gown and the horse's coat creates a compelling sense of romantic drama.
