Artist, French, 1741 - 1814

This is a drawing of a group of horse riders in a forest. The scene depicts three individuals on horseback, traversing through a wooded area. Each rider is clad in formal, historical attire with wide-brimmed hats. The central focus is a woman adorned with a decorative hat and a flowing outfit. She is accompanied by a rider on either side, each on their own horse. The background features a dense forest with tall, twisted trees and abundant foliage. The use of monochromatic tones gives the drawing a timeless, classical atmosphere.
