"Études de Cavaliers" (Studies of Horsemen) is a series of works by the influential French painter and lithographer Théodore Géricault (1791–1824), renowned for his pivotal role in the Romantic movement. Géricault had a profound interest in the movement and anatomy of horses, which is evident in his numerous sketches, paintings, and lithographs of cavalrymen and equine subjects. These studies reflect his fascination with the dynamic relationship between horse and rider, a theme that is central to many of his major works, including the iconic "Le Radeau de la Méduse" (The Raft of the Medusa).

The "Études de Cavaliers" series showcases Géricault's exceptional ability to capture the muscularity, energy, and grace of horses, as well as the skill and character of the riders. His studies are characterized by vigorous brushwork and a keen attention to detail, which imbue his subjects with a sense of vitality and immediacy. Géricault's interest in horses was not merely academic; he was an accomplished horseman himself, and his intimate knowledge of equine behavior and anatomy informed his artistic practice.

These works were not only artistic pursuits but also served as preparatory studies for larger compositions. Géricault's dedication to depicting horses accurately led him to study at the horse market of Pitié and the veterinary school in Paris, and even to keep horses in his studio at times. The "Études de Cavaliers" are significant in understanding Géricault's process and the development of his technique, as they provide insight into his method of working from life and his ability to translate his observations into compelling artistic imagery.

The "Études de Cavaliers" are held in various collections and have been exhibited in several museums, contributing to the appreciation of Géricault's work and the Romantic movement at large. They continue to be studied by art historians and enthusiasts for their contribution to the understanding of equine art and the development of 19th-century French painting.
