Dated to about 1827-1829, this graphite drawing depicts a fallen horse and a slain knight, a battlefield subject Delacroix returned to in numerous variations across his career. The glistening highlights on the horse's skin and its flamelike mane are hallmarks that recur throughout his lithographs from the same years, and curators have suggested the drawing may relate to an illustration for Shakespeare's Henry VI. It reflects Delacroix's lasting fascination with violent, dramatic motion and the horse as a Romantic subject in its own right.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

Everyone who walks in asks about it. It brings out parts of Fallen Horse I have never seen reproduced this well. It has come through a summer of open windows and humidity without a problem. I am already planning the next order. 👌
This looks like something that cost twice what it did. The color choices Delacroix made in Fallen Horse come through clearly.
The whole experience was smooth from checkout to delivery. My friends recognized Fallen Horse right away, which surprised me. It is staying right where it is.
The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. Anyone who loves Delacroix should have Fallen Horse somewhere in the house.
Half of this worked out and the other half did not. It is a fair version of Fallen Horse at a fair price. It is the kind of thing that works and does not stand out. I would call it a fair trade.
