Equestrian portrait
Genre of portraiture / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An equestrian portrait is a portrait that shows the subject on horseback. Equestrian portraits suggest a high-status sitter, who in many cases was a monarch or other member of the nobility, and the portraits can also carry a suggestion of chivalry.[1][2]
