Mexican Infantry "On the March" is a 1896 oil by Frederic Remington, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
The painting depicts a group of men in white uniforms, marching in a line. They are all wearing hats and carrying rifles on their shoulders. The man at the front of the line is riding a horse, which is facing to the left. The men are walking on a dusty road, with a mountain range visible in the background. The sky is cloudy, and the overall atmosphere suggests a sense of movement and purpose. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
