Reiter am Strand von Dieppe

Französische Malerei 1890–1899, 1892

This horizontal painting shows three horses and riders seen from the side, moving towards the right. The three horses are brown, and they wear covers in shades of white and blue over their bodies, necks, and heads, with holes for their eyes and mouth. They also appear to wear blue covers around their feet and legs. Each horse has a rider seated on its back, holding its reins. The riders are painted in shades of brown, green, and blue. Their faces aren't visible, but they all appear to wear hats. The horizon is halfway up the painting, where the sky meets a body of water. A faint sun glows through the pale gray clouds, and the water below is light, with some small waves where it meets the sandy ground. The color palette features soft earth tones with hints of blue and white.
