Artist, French, 1847 - 1898

This is a drawing of a figure on horseback with others scattered around. The central image depicts a solitary rider on a horse, silhouetted against a stormy sky, with swirling clouds. Below the horse, there are figures on the ground. Surrounding this central scene on the same sheet are faint sketches, including cloud formations and a faint visage of a person's face. The overall tone is dark and moody, with a focus on light and shadow to convey tension and movement.
