This painting shows two horses running side by side, their dappled coats glistening in the light. They are being ridden by a man in a uniform, who is holding the reins of both horses. The horses are the main focus of the painting, and their movements are captured in a dynamic and energetic way. The man riding them is shown in profile, his face serious and intent. The painting is a great example of Romanticism, and it's held at The Cleveland Museum of Art. If you want to see more works like this, you could look up the Romanticism movement.
