About the Item

Fine English School Study of a Mounted Cavalry Officer on Galloping Horse Late 18th / Early 19th Century English School circa 1780–1800 Ink drawing with watercolour wash on artist paper, unframed Drawing size: 7.5 x 8 inches Provenance: Private Collection, UK Condition: Very good for age, with minor old stains, light foxing, and wear to the paper edges consistent with age. A spirited equestrian study depicting a mounted cavalry officer riding at speed across an open landscape. Executed in pen and ink with sepia watercolour wash, the drawing captures the energy and elegance of both horse and rider through confident, fluid linework and expressive brushwork. The officer is shown in full military dress, complete with plumed helmet and decorative uniform, while the horse is rendered in an animated pose that conveys movement and momentum. The economy of line and subtle use of wash demonstrate the artist's skill in recording action and character with remarkable immediacy. Dating from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, this attractive study reflects the enduring popularity of military and equestrian subjects during the Georgian and Napoleonic periods. It would make a fine addition to a collection of sporting, military or equestrian works on paper. For any more information please do contact us with any questions you may have. Thank you.
