Description

English: The Cavaliers - Los Caballeros; 2 horsemen in full military uniform, with red tunics, riding across a countryside. From the uniforms, could be anything from Napoleonic era (N. I.), to contemporary to the 1890s-1900s. miniature painting & over-written message on a post-card.unsigned.circa-1904.Sgouros collection-item 1.scan.jpg

Impressionist style; somewhat resembling (anticipates?) a modern-art romantic-novel book-cover of the 1960s-1970s.

Spanish Impressionist school, Madrid-style?; circa 1904 - postcard message is dated "28 Octobre 1904", therefore presumably the artwork was created some time before this date. Especially given that the oil(?) paint has been overwritten, & was presumably already dry at the time

The painting is executed in oils(?) on a fairly heavy-guage brown cardstock; unsigned, artist not known. The image fills the central-right portion of one side of the card, with an irregular border; overwritten with the post-card's message-content, inverse to the orientation of the image, in ink (& pencil?). Condition is generally good; some blotches, wear, & scuffing, corners slightly worn, exact original shade of the cardstock uncertain, but it was almost certainly some shade of cardboard-brown to begin with.

Address, postage stamp, & postmarked on reverse; postmark not yet read.

(Reusing this file)

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

	This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
	This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.

Notes: I have uploaded this item here, rather than at English Wikipedia, in the hopes of attracting more interest (& potential scholarship) in researching the origins & the artist. IF anyone wants to seriously dispute the copyright status, please transfer to wp/EN, rather than just delete.
