Dobozi is a 1868 oil by Viktor Madarász, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
The painting depicts a woman riding a white horse, with a red cloak flowing behind her. The horse is in mid-gallop, with its front legs raised and its back legs extended. The woman's dark hair is blowing in the wind, and she holds the reins in her right hand. In the background, a dark landscape stretches out, with a few trees and hills visible in the distance. The sky above is cloudy and gray, with a hint of yellow on the horizon. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the woman and her horse.
