About this work

This page looks like a fancy book cover. A small figure rides a horse under a tree with twisted branches. The tree has blue flowers and golden leaves. Two tall streetlamps stand on either side, painted in soft yellows and blues. The text at the top is in French and mentions "Chinese cabinets" for artists. The colors are bright but faded, like old paper. The horse looks calm, but the rider holds a stick. Want to see more? Look up etching to see how artists make prints like this.
