The location, in a neighborhood where horse dealers and saddle and coach makers were especially numerous would seem to indicate that the painter could easily find a model for his mount. It also suggests that he drew his inspiration directly from the spectacular battle paintings that the painter Pierre Prévost exhibited across the boulevard in his Rotondes de Panoramas. It was also very close to where, at this precise moment, his close friend Horace Vernet was living. He was the son of Carle, then painter of the Dépôt de Guerre, who had been his teacher. Théodore and Horace were able to work together in the perspective of the 1812 Salon, and to realize a painting attributed to Géricault in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Reims, where a chasseur on horseback is in a position that recalls the first sketches of the Chasseur à Cheval.Cairn free access
