More questions than answers around this very charming watercolor.
19th century french school ? or more probably english school ?
Who was the artist who chose to sign Don Giovani ?
What's the real subject of this artwork ?
These questions are full part of the interest and charm of this original watercolor.
The style, execution and theme are very typical of the european culture of the middle of the 19th century, when roman culture was seen from an archeological point of view, with more interest for the daily life of the people of this era. An emblematic novel of this time, "The Last days of Pompei" by Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton is published in 1834. It's the cultural background to evoke to answer to our questions and to fully appreciate this artwork.

- Gentlemen at the Races, Point to PointingBy Sir Alfred James MunningsLocated in Cotignac, FREarly 20th century watercolour of a gentleman on horseback with other riders in the background apparently signed or titled 'Count A de Monthaus'. Signed or titled bottom left. Presented in fine period gilt frame under glass. The artist has captured a moment of pause, the gentlemen rider in his fine clothes and bowler hat regarding his surroundings as his fellow riders continue the chase behind him, possibly a 'point to point'. Monthaus has captured the stance of the standing horse as well as the movement of the other horses. He has used white to give light and definition to the costume of the rider and the background. A lovely atmospheric and dynamic watercolour very much of its period and in the spirit of equine portraiture made famous by the likes of Sir Alfred Munnings. Sir Alfred James Munnings, KCVO PRA RI (8 October 1878 – 17 July 1959) was known as one of England's finest painters of horses, and as an outspoken critic of Modernism. Engaged by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War...Category
