The heir to two generations of renowned artists, Horace Vernet's (1789-1863) destiny was clearly mapped out. Son of Carle Vernet (158-1836), grandson of Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714-1789), a painter of seascapes, and Jean-Michel Moreau the Younger (1741-1814), he frequented the studios of Théodore Géricault (1791-1824) and François-André Vincent (1746-1816).

Before devoting himself fully to military painting, his talent enabled him to earn a living by producing caricatures and charming little genre scenes used by fashion magazines such as Le Journal des Dames et des Modes from 1811 to 1815.

Our drawing is a perfect example of this period, revealing Horace Vernet's impressive finesse of execution.

This elegant horsewoman, whip in hand, will soon join her mount, visible in the background, which a groom is holding for her.
