Oil on Cardboard Depicting a Hussard Rider, 20th Century

Between impressionism and realism, the artist who signed this painting at the bottom left borrows from modern artistic movements from the previous century. In mild spring weather, this proud rider poses proudly on a chestnut horse. This soldier from a light cavalry corps gets his furry outfit and plumed hat from the Hungarian cavalry from which it was initially borrowed. Bridle, reins and saddle pad are richly decorated and elegantly match the horse’s coat. This painting dated by the painter from 1918 is in perfect condition.
