Caprices: Mounted Cavalier

Stefano Della Bella

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a mounted cavalier and two infantrymen. A man sits atop a horse, facing right. He wears a hat with a feather, a vest over a collared shirt, a sash tied around his waist, and boots. The horse faces right, with a long mane and tail. In the background, two men on foot face each other. The figure on the right holds a long gun with a bayonet. The background shows ground with small bushes, and more ground with hills and a cloudy sky. The image is in black and white, with a small inscription at the bottom. The paper is off-white and worn with a rough texture.
