A 19th Century American oil-on-canvas painting depicting a Union cavalryman sounding a bugle call from atop a rearing horse. Executed in a restrained palette of blues, grays, greens, and blacks, the composition captures a strong sense of movement with the rearing horse before a turbulent sky. Signed in the lower left corner. The surface exhibits attractive craquelure throughout, consistent with age. Unframed, but with a distinct painted border. An RT Facts find.
Dimensions: 60"L x 32.5"H x 1"D
