Around 1900, The Elegant Cavalier

How elegant this rider is, dressed in a dark jacket, a bowler hat, beautiful boots, trotting on a beautiful pie horse. It is a fashionable subject in the good society of this beginning of the century, where riding a horse was still part of the customs of this time. We can date the painting because there is, unfortunately erased for unknown reasons, a trace of the date 1906, and perhaps of a signature. The life of old objects sometimes escapes us, which is sometimes regrettable, sometimes leads to reverie. It is painted on a thin wooden panel, and framed in a good cane frame. If we can deplore some small easily repairable losses on the frame, its gilding is beautiful and original. The painting is in excellent condition. Dimensions of the panel: 44 cm x 33 cm
