The artwork, titled “The Amazon (Alice Regnault),” was created by Giovanni Boldini in 1878. Executed with oil on panel, this genre painting belongs to the Realism art movement and possesses dimensions of 69 x 58 cm.
In the artwork, a poised equestrian figure, presumably Alice Regnault, is depicted riding a robust, trotting horse. The setting portrays a natural, open landscape with a broad, dusky sky that suggests an early evening scene. The rider is dressed in a dark, elegant riding outfit, punctuated by a top hat, exuding a sense of sophistication and grace. Accompanying the rider and horse is a small white dog, energetically keeping pace alongside them. The overall composition captures a moment of dynamic tranquility, reflecting Boldini’s prowess in illustrating refined, yet lively scenes.
