Frédéric Auguste La Guillermie, after Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person riding a horse. The rider, wearing a formal uniform with epaulettes, is seated upright on the horse, holding the reins. The rider faces to the right and wears a side-profile helmet or hat. Both the rider and the horse are fully visible, with the rider's facial features slightly detailed. The background is a plain, textured surface with no distinct objects or landscape.
