More about this artwork

The painting "Soldier Riding a Horse" by Edward Penfield features a poised and confident soldier mounted on a dark horse. The soldier is depicted wearing a light gray uniform with golden yellow accents at the neck and cuffs, possibly indicating his rank or regiment. He is also adorned with a broad-brimmed hat and carries a side bag, suggesting he could be on a specific duty or mission. The horse, well-groomed and adorned with detailed bridle and reins, carries its head high, adding to the dignified appearance of the scene.Penfield’s style in this artwork is distinct, employing bold outlines and flat areas of color which articulate the figures clearly against the grayish background. The minimalist approach emphasizes the composure and restrained elegance of the soldier and his horse. The use of shadow on the ground under the horse gives a sense of the time of day and adds a bit of dynamic contrast to the otherwise subdued color palette.

Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American poster artist, considered as the father of the American poster movement. He was employed as an art editor for Harper’s Weekly, Monthly, and Harper’s Bazaar, where he made posters advertising each issue of the magazine for over seven years. His art was avant-garde with less concern for the dramatic curving lines of Art Nouveau, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e block prints, figure drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, color lithographies by Jules Chéret, and other contemporary artists. He created simplified scenes of daily life in saturated colors, including horses, cats, sports, and women’s fashion.
