"Reître et captives" (Knight and Captives) is a painting by Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, known for his mystical and fantastical depictions of historical and mythological themes. The painting shows a knight on horseback, with a group of women in colorful, ornate garb behind him. The knight's armor and the women's attire suggest a medieval setting, but the overall atmosphere is dreamlike and enigmatic, typical of Moreau's style. The symbolism of the figures and their interactions remains open to interpretation, inviting viewers to engage with the artist's unique vision.
