Oil on canvas Austria, around 1870 Attributed to Alexander Ritter von Bensa (1820-1902) – Austrian genre and battle painter Alexander Ritter von Bensa is well-known for his depictions of soldiers and villages, which remind of the Biedermeier style of artists such as August von Pettenkofen (1822-1889) Overall dimensions, framed: 47 x 39 cm Very good condition Provenance: Auktionshaus Zeller (2009); Estate of an Austrian private collection The present painting depicts an aristocratic society on a ride through the forest. The group is headed by an elegantly dressed lady, riding on the back of a beautiful white horse. She is followed by a gentleman, dressed with a red suit, as it was typical for English riders at that time. The work is not signed, but is attributed to the artist Alexander Ritter von Bensa, as it clearly corresponds with his Biedermeier paintings.
