Kongelig forrider is a 1807 unspecified by Unknown, a Biedermeier work, depicting Uniform, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in a red coat riding a white horse. The rider wears a tall black hat. The background is plain and dark. The artist used loose brushstrokes to hint at details rather than define them. This gives the scene a quick, lively feel. It feels like a snapshot, not a stiff portrait.
