Wilhelm Richter - miltiary & equestrian painter

Salvete Omnes,

today another quick post -

among the vastness of Wiki Commons galleries there are countless works of art, and especially works devoted to the equestrian subject are of great interest to me.
One of such searches ended with the discovery of the equestrian art of Wilhelm Richter, of Vienna and official painter of the Austro-Hungarian army during the later XIX century.

Wiki gallery contains mostly  paintings od racing horses and military-related works,so allow me to insert some of them here - and more in great detail can be enjoyed from the gallery itself -
