This watercolor by Richard Dighton, a British artist known for his portraits of fashionable people, depicts a man in profile riding a horse. The man is dressed in a dark blue coat with a high collar, white breeches, and a top hat. This artwork is an example of equestrian portraiture, a popular genre in the 19th century, and is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The work is a testament to Dighton's skill in capturing the details of dress and posture, showcasing a man of high social standing and refined taste.
