A dressage horse moves elegantly in an almost Rembrandt lighting situation that was creatively generated with the help of artificial fog. The horse moves in the dark, its silhouette partly lit by one sunbeam. The composition unfolds horizontally and is given by different shades of brown that shape the horse’s frontal side in a counter-jour that continues with the dominant dark areas. The light source in the top-right corner obtains a pictural diagonal that highlights the horse’s movement making it resemble a Dancer on the stage.
