About this work

The painting depicts a man in a military uniform, standing confidently with his left hand resting on the back of a horse. He wears a dark jacket with gold buttons and epaulets, paired with white breeches and black boots. A sword hangs at his side, and he holds a hat in his right hand. In the background, a subtle landscape unfolds, featuring a building and a cloudy sky. The overall atmosphere exudes a sense of dignity and authority. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Green, Valentine, known for his Romanticist style.
