Moroccan Horseman Crossing a Ford (painting (visual work); Eugène Delacroix (French painter, 1798-1863) ; ca. 1850; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 2001.42;)

Note: Dramatically lit and heroically isolated, a Moroccan horseman, fist upraised, charges across a ford, his horse rearing as it gains the river bank. Behind them stretches an expansive plain where one can see another lone horseman, setting off on a gallop towards a military encampment. In the background, under a turbulent sky, lies a chain of dark mountains.
