"Lara Wounded" is a lithograph by Théodore Géricault, a prominent French artist known for his Romantic style. The print, created around 1820, depicts a scene from Lord Byron's poem "Lara," where the titular character is depicted as a wounded knight being aided by a comrade. The work showcases Géricault's mastery of detail, evident in the intricate depiction of the knight's armor and the horse's anatomy, which were popular subjects during the Romantic era. It is now part of the collection at The Art Institute of Chicago.
