[Vernet, Carle, French painter (1758-1836)]. Arabian cavalier.

€ 2,500.00

This beautiful study, most likely for a lithograph, can be attributed to Carle Vernet, the youngest son of the painter Claude-Joseph Vernet. The monumental central motif of an Arabian cavalier on a dark Arabian stallion is elaborately executed, whereas the backdrop of a tent and a battle scene remain sketchy.

A passionate horseman himself, Carle Vernet is most famous for his cavalry scenes and other equestrian motifs.

Trimmed on the upper margin. Abrasions throughout, mostly affecting the background.
