Sketchbook, page 19: Study of a Figure on Horseback seen from behind

Ernest Meissonier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch on off-white paper of a figure on horseback viewed from behind. The figure wears a wide-brimmed hat and a long-sleeved shirt. A thin line indicates the horse's reins. The horse's head and front legs are not drawn. The figure and horse are on the left side of the paper; a faint sketch of another figure on horseback is on the right. A small number '67' is handwritten vertically in the bottom-left corner.
