18th Century French Provincial Watercolor

About the Item

18th Century French Provincial Watercolor. Depicting a Lady and Gentleman riding horses in the original gilt frame, circa 1790. Pencil and watercolor on toned paper. Sight Size: 8" H x 10" L This delicate artwork portrays a refined gentleman and lady riding horseback side by side, dressed in elegant 18th-century attire. The gentleman wears a tricorn hat and buttoned coat, while the lady is adorned with a feathered hat and full skirt, suggesting a leisurely countryside ride. Their postures are composed and dignified, echoing the grace and decorum of aristocratic leisure. The horses are rendered with dynamic movement and anatomical accuracy, suggesting the artist's familiarity with equestrian subjects. The subtle use of watercolor enhances the figurines with hints of color, especially in the riders' clothing and the horses' manes. The background remains softly implied, giving the scene a timeless, ethereal quality.
