About the Item

1780's-1800 Fine English School Ink & Watercolor Armoured Cavalier Carrying Lady on Horseback Romantic Scene Late 18th / Early 19th Century English School circa 1780–1800 ink drawing with watercolour wash on artist paper, unframed Drawing: 12 x 9 inches Provenance: private collection, UK Condition: very good for age, with minor old stains and wear to the corners and paper edges consistent with age A finely executed late 18th century English drawing depicting an armoured cavalry figure carrying a seated female companion on horseback, rendered with elegant line work and delicate washes. The composition captures a sense of movement and narrative, with the horse stepping forward across an open landscape while the male figure, clad in armour and plumed helmet, supports the woman seated side-saddle. The pairing evokes a romantic or chivalric subject, possibly drawn from historical or theatrical inspiration popular in the Georgian period. The restrained palette and confident draughtsmanship highlight the artist’s skill, particularly in the articulation of the horse’s form and the soft handling of the female figure’s drapery. Subtle landscape elements in the background provide atmospheric depth without detracting from the central figures. A highly decorative and characterful example of late 18th century English figurative and equestrian drawing. For any more information please do contact us with any questions you may have. Thank you.

Cavalry is a beautiful watercolor on paper, realized in the mid-XIX century by Théodore Géricaul Fort (1810 - 1896). Hand-signed in brown ink on the lower right corner. A knight is portrayed in his uniform and galloping on a beautiful Arabian stallion, with the trumpet on his shoulders, ready to give the signal to attack to the cavalry.
