Reitender Feldherr is a 1765 unspecified by Josef Winterhalder der Jüngere, held at Kunsthistorisches Museum.
The painting depicts a scene with a man in a red robe riding a horse, while another man in a white and blue striped shirt is being pulled by the horse. The horse is brown with a black mane and tail. The man in red is holding a sword in his right hand. In the background, there is a large piece of fabric or a flag with a grid pattern. The overall atmosphere of the painting appears to be one of action and movement. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who used chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
Josef Winterhalder the Younger (25 January 1743 – 17 January 1807) was a German-Bohemian painter belonging to the fourth generation of painters and sculptors in the Winterhalder family. He worked in Moravia, Lower Austria and Hungary.
