A Woman from Dalecarlia Riding Barefooted on a White Horse is a 1850 unspecified by Wilhelm Marstrand, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting shows a woman riding a white horse barefooted. She wears a white headscarf and a long dress with a red apron. The horse is walking on a dirt path in a forest. The woman is holding a basket in her left hand and the horse's reins in her right hand. The woman's face is serious, and she looks straight ahead. The horse is also looking straight ahead, and its ears are perked up. The forest background is dark, with tall trees and green leaves. The painting is a realistic depiction of a woman and her horse in a natural setting. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and texture.
