Trompetter naast paard 1799 - 1863

This pencil drawing, titled "Trompetter naast paard" (Trumpeter beside a horse), depicts a scene of military life. Created by French painter Horace Vernet between 1799 and 1863, the work showcases a trumpeter in full uniform, blowing his instrument while standing beside a saddled horse. The drawing's simple composition and delicate lines capture a moment of quiet contemplation within a larger narrative of military service. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
