About the piece
Painted in 1887 by August von Meissl, this spirited oil on canvas captures a moment of military movement in the open countryside. The work features a central hussar on a rearing horse with a raised saber, rendered with confident brushwork that emphasizes the energy of the equestrian subject against a soft, atmospheric horizon.
