Ruiter op Engels jachtpaard 1816 - 1839

This etching, titled "Ruiter op Engels jachtpaard," was created by Carle Vernet between 1816 and 1839. The work depicts a rider on an English hunting horse. The detail in the horse's anatomy and the rider's posture suggest Vernet's keen interest in the subject matter. The scene takes place in an open field, with a hunting dog in the foreground. The etching is a testament to Vernet's ability to capture the energy and grace of a horse in motion. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
