''Gesattelter Schimmel'' is a notable painting by Emil Volkers, a 19th-century German artist renowned for his equine art. The title translates to "Saddled Grey Horse" in English, reflecting the subject of the work. Volkers, born in 1831 in Neuss and later active in Düsseldorf, was a prominent member of the Düsseldorf school of painting, which was influential in the mid-19th century. His oeuvre primarily consists of equestrian scenes, capturing the grace and nobility of horses, a subject for which he held a lifelong passion.

''Gesattelter Schimmel'' exemplifies Volkers' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the texture of the horse's coat, the sheen of light on its body, and the intricacies of the tack. The painting showcases a grey horse, likely a warmblood, in profile view, saddled and ready for riding. The composition focuses on the animal's calm demeanor and the elegance of its stance, which is a testament to Volkers' skill in rendering horses with a sense of individual personality and realism.

The exact date of creation for ''Gesattelter Schimmel'' is not well-documented, but it falls within Volkers' most productive period, when he was recognized for his contributions to animal painting. The work is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Volkers to achieve the fine gradations of tone and color necessary for his realistic portrayal of equine subjects.

As a significant piece within Emil Volkers' body of work, ''Gesattelter Schimmel'' continues to be appreciated by art historians and enthusiasts of equestrian art. It is representative of the artist's dedication to capturing the essence of the horse and the broader 19th-century artistic movement that celebrated the beauty of the natural world through detailed and lifelike representation. The painting is not only an important cultural artifact but also a valuable piece for understanding the thematic and stylistic preoccupations of the Düsseldorf school during its heyday.
