Dismounted: The Fourth Troopers Moving the Led Horses is a 1896 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting depicts a group of horsemen riding in a dusty, desert landscape. The men wear cowboy hats and dark jackets, with some holding reins and others gesturing with their arms. The horses are in various states of movement, with some rearing up on their hind legs and others running or walking. The background is a hazy blue sky with a few rocks and bushes scattered throughout the foreground. The artist has used a range of earth tones to capture the dusty, sun-baked atmosphere of the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with a focus on conveying the energy and movement of the horsemen. The artist who painted this scene is Frederic Remington.
Frederic Sackrider Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in the genre of Western American Art.
