DescriptionDescription: Horace Vernet tends to be associated mainly with battle scenes or Oriental subjects. This painting of four gentlemen tourists in the Alps shows us a more unexpected side of his work. The man to the left, smoking, is probably Vernet himself. The party is taking a break in a rather inhospitable landscape, with a view of lofty Alpine peaks opening up in the distance.
