A Trumpeter on Horseback is a 1892 unspecified by Édouard Detaille, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
A Trumpeter on Horseback, painted by Édouard Detaille in 1884, depicts a man in a blue military uniform riding a white horse. The man wears a hat and holds a trumpet in his right hand, while a large basket is attached to the horse's side. In the background, a line of soldiers on horseback is visible, with a grassy field and cloudy sky. The painting features a mix of colors, with the blue uniform standing out against the more muted tones of the background. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the trumpeter.
