About the piece
Painted in 1897 by French artist Lucien-Pierre Sergent, this dramatic oil study showcases his mastery of equestrian anatomy and military atmosphere. The composition emphasizes movement and anticipation, with soldiers and their steeds poised on a windswept ridge against a turbulent sky, reflecting the grandeur and technical precision of traditional European military painting.
