The scene of war is a 1861 oil by Horace Vernet, depicting Horse, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
The painting depicts a man riding a white horse, with a large bundle strapped to the horse's back. The man is dressed in a white shirt and red pants, and he holds a long stick in his right hand. In the background, there are rolling hills and mountains, with a group of people gathered in the distance. The scene appears to be set in a rural or mountainous area, with the horse and rider navigating a rocky path. The man's clothing and the style of the painting suggest that it may be a historical or genre scene. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Horace Vernet, who was known for his depictions of horses and military scenes.
Émile Jean-Horace Vernet (French pronunciation: ; 30 June 1789 – 17 January 1863), better known as Horace Vernet, was a French painter of battles, portraits, and Orientalist subjects.
