Dominant colour
Cheval de charrette sorti des limons is a 1822 by Théodore Géricault, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a horse, its white coat mottled with darker spots, standing in front of a large, covered wagon. The horse is harnessed to the wagon, which is positioned at an angle, with its rear end closest to the viewer. The wagon's canvas cover is a lighter shade than the horse's coat, and it appears to be made of a coarse, woven fabric. In the background, a building with a sloping roof and a doorway can be seen, although it is somewhat indistinct. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet, rustic simplicity. The artist who created this work is Théodore Géricault (French, 1791–1824).
Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault (French: ; 26 September 1791 – 26 January 1824) was a French painter and lithographer.
