About the piece

Painted circa 1850 by the renowned French artist Alfred de Dreux, this work exemplifies the elegance of mid-19th-century sporting art. It depicts 'L'écuyère Kippler'—an equestrienne—on her striking black jument (mare) in a lush, shadowed woodland. De Dreux's mastery is evident in the play of light across the horse's coat and the dignified, poised silhouette of the rider.
