Highlander Woman on Horseback is a 1872 oil by Aleksander Kotsis, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting shows a woman riding a horse. She is dressed in a long skirt and a white blouse with a red shawl over her head. The horse is brown and appears to be running or galloping. The background is a landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. The woman holds a drum in her left hand, and her right hand grasps the horse's reins. The horse's legs are extended as if in mid-gallop. The woman's face is focused, and her body leans forward, indicating a sense of urgency or movement. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Aleksander Kotsis, an artist known for his detailed and expressive depictions of everyday life.
Aleksander Kotsis (30 May 1836 – 7 August 1877) was a Polish painter. He created landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes in a combination Romantic and Realistic style. Most of his paintings are small. He was born and died in Kraków.
