1874
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
An Uhlan is a 1874 by Édouard Detaille, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a soldier riding a horse through shallow water. The rider holds a long pole with a flag at the top, and the horse looks strong and alert. The background is just swirling lines, like wind or rain, keeping things simple. The artist focused on movement and detail in the soldier’s uniform and the horse’s muscles. The lines are sharp, making everything feel alive and real. Check out Édouard Detaille for more works like this.
