Mounted Artilleryman Leading Three Horses

Carle Vernet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a mounted artilleryman leading three horses. The artilleryman wears a red jacket with blue and white accents, a tall black hat with a red plume, and blue pants. He rides a brown horse and leads two other horses, one white with a brown saddle blanket and one brown. The horses wear saddles and bridles. In the background, a battle scene unfolds with soldiers on horseback and on foot. Smoke billows from the left and right sides of the image. A hill with a fence and a building is visible on the left, while another hill and a body of water are seen on the right. The sky is blue-gray.
