"L'Amazone" is a notable painting by the French artist Alfred de Dreux (1810–1860), renowned for his portrayal of horses and equestrian subjects. Created in the mid-19th century, this work exemplifies De Dreux's fascination with the nobility and grace of horses, as well as his skill in capturing the elegance of high society. The painting features a female rider, known as an "amazone" in French, which refers to a woman who rides horses in sidesaddle fashion. This was a common practice among aristocratic women during the period, symbolizing both their status and adherence to the era's conventions of femininity.

The composition of "L'Amazone" is marked by a dynamic interplay of movement and poise, with the horse depicted in a spirited pose, possibly in the midst of a trot or canter. The rider, dressed in the refined attire typical of an affluent equestrienne of the time, sits with an air of composed assurance, reflecting the societal expectations of upper-class women to maintain decorum and elegance even in active pursuits. De Dreux's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the horse's muscular anatomy, the sheen of its coat, and the intricate accessories adorning both the horse and rider.

Alfred de Dreux's work is often characterized by a romanticized realism, and "L'Amazone" is no exception. It captures the romantic spirit of the age while also providing a realistic depiction of the subjects. The painting is a testament to De Dreux's reputation as a leading equestrian artist of his time and contributes to the understanding of 19th-century French art, especially in the context of the depiction of horses and the aristocracy.

"L'Amazone" remains a significant piece within Alfred de Dreux's oeuvre, reflecting the social and cultural milieu of the period, and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical value. The painting is a part of the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, where it is displayed and contributes to the museum's representation of French art from the period between the end of the Neoclassical era and the dawn of Impressionism.
