A Soldier with an Officer's Charger is a 1839 oil by John Frederick Herring, Sr., held at Denver Art Museum.
The painting depicts a soldier in a red jacket and white pants standing beside a brown horse. The soldier is wearing a black hat and has his right hand on his hip, while his left hand is extended towards the horse. The horse is facing the soldier, with its head turned slightly to the left. In the background, there is a dirt path leading to a wooden fence, with trees and bushes on either side. The sky above is cloudy and gray, with a few birds flying in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of calmness and serenity. For more information on the artist who created this work, look up John Frederick Herring, Sr.
