ÉMILE-JEAN-HORACE VERNET, AN OFFICER ON HORSEBACK ON A BATTLEFIELD, GRAPHITE, WATERCOLOUR AND BODYCOLOUR, SIGNED AND DATED

The drawing possibly depicts Comte Adolphe de la Barthe de Thermes (1789-1869) as a cavalry officer, who was married to Joséphine-Ludmile Fouché d’Otrante (1803-1893). – an identification established at the sale of the Fouché d’Otrante estate in 1980 (see Provenance). Vernet produced a number of painted or drawn equestrian portraits, such as that of Jean-Georges Schickler in the collection of Paul et Raphaëlle de Pourtalès (Horace Vernet (1789-1863), exhib. cat., Musée National du Château de Versailles, 2023-2024, no. 135, ill.). Like the present watercolour, the artist produced some portraits in small format, intended to decorate the interiors of his clientèle (op. cit., pp. 356-360).
