Ragotin op een paard 1705 - 1772

"Ragotin a Cheval avec une Carabine qui lui tire entre les Jambes" is a satirical etching by French artist Gabriel Huquier, dated between 1705 and 1772. The image depicts a man attempting to ride a horse, but the horse has bucked and is rearing up. The rider has fallen and is clinging to the horse's neck. A carriage is in the background, with passengers seemingly amused by the man's predicament. This etching exemplifies the 18th-century Rococo style, with its emphasis on lightheartedness, playful subjects, and elegant detail. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
