"The Amazon (Alice Regnault)" is an oil painting by Giovanni Boldini, completed in 1878. The painting depicts Alice Regnault, a woman dressed in riding attire, riding a horse through a countryside scene. The horse's forward motion and the woman's confident posture contribute to the sense of energy and dynamism that pervades the artwork. Boldini’s signature "Boldini" can be seen in the lower right corner of the painting. The painting's title, "The Amazon," emphasizes the woman's strength and agility as she confidently controls her horse, a popular subject in the Realist genre.
