Het brieschend paard, dat op zijn ruiter trots gevoelt, / Bezwijkt niet in den slag, hoe de oorlogsdonder loeit [(...)] 1822 - 1849

"Het brieschend paard, dat op zijn ruiter trots gevoelt, / Bezwijkt niet in den slag, hoe de oorlogsdonder loeit [...]" (The neighing horse, proud of its rider, / Does not falter in the battle, however loudly the thunder of war roars [...]) is an 1822-1849 print by I.I. de Lanier, housed in the Rijksmuseum. This print is a series of eight images portraying a cavalryman on horseback in different postures, demonstrating the techniques of horse riding. The simplistic style of the print, with its bold outlines and limited color palette, suggests a pedagogical purpose, likely intended for teaching riders. Its illustrative nature aligns with the Dutch tradition of printmaking for practical instruction, common in the 19th century.
