Voluntary Partisan is a 1822 by Horace Vernet, a Romanticism work, depicting Soldier, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a man on horseback, wearing a hat and holding a flag. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The man in the painting is a partisan, which means he's a fighter for a cause. This was a common theme in 19th-century art, often depicting heroic scenes. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
