Hussar at the Door of a Cabaret, or Hussar Embracing a Servant

Horace Vernet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a black and white drawing. A man in a military uniform with a tall hat and ornate jacket embraces a woman in a long dress. He holds the reins of a horse in one hand. The horse faces left and has a decorative saddle. The woman looks left and holds an object in both hands. There is a building to the left with a sign above the doorway. The sign has a crest and is inscribed with "A LA GRACE DE DIEU". A stone step leads up to the doorway. The background shows a dirt road, a bare tree branch and a distant building.
