About this Artwork
Dress as information
The title identifies the rider by what she is wearing. In a catalogue organised by function that is a useful signal, because riding dress was task-specific: what a woman wore to ride was not what she wore to travel or to receive visitors, and the garment named in a title is often the clearest indication of the occasion that a record contains.
What the record holds
The date of creation is 1910 and the location line reads Private Collection. The dimensions are not recorded. Impressionism is the style term on the record and German the nationality; the measured colour family of the image is ochre. The record files the work under portraiture, under male and female headings, and under Animal Art > Horse.
A single record
This is the only work by this painter in the catalogue. A single entry supports no statement about a body of work, and none is made here. What can be said is what the title and the tags say: a woman, mounted, riding, with no course, no field and no vehicle attached to her anywhere in the record.
