About the piece

Painted in 1726 by French master Charles Parrocel, this work captures a rare moment of stillness for a troop of soldiers and their mounts. Known for his expertise in military and equestrian subjects, Parrocel's dynamic technique is evident here in the powerful forms of the horses and the textured, moody sky that dominates the upper half of the composition.
