About the Item

Lithograph on wove paper. Signed and date in the plate. Image dimension: 19.5x28 cm. A fine and atmospheric lithograph by Auguste Raffet, the celebrated French lithographer and painter renowned for his vivid military scenes. This composition captures a striking group of Cossack cavalrymen on horseback, depicted in motion with lances held upright, set against a hazy battlefield-like backdrop. The artist conveys both discipline and energy, emphasizing the strong silhouettes of riders and horses, rendered with exceptional precision and tonal mastery. Raffet’s lithographs are highly sought after for their historical accuracy and dramatic intensity, often illustrating moments of military life with a rare blend of documentary realism and artistic vigor. This sheet, dating from 1843, reflects his ability to evoke movement and atmosphere, qualities that contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost military artists of the 19th century. The sheet shows scattered foxing and light age toning, particularly in the margins, consistent with age. The image itself remains sharp, with fine contrasts preserved.
