"Le General Murat A Cheval" is a notable work by Emmanuel Poiré, who is more famously known by his pseudonym Caran d'Ache. Caran d'Ache was a prominent French satirist and caricaturist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, renowned for his sharp wit and distinctive artistic style. Born in Moscow in 1858, Poiré moved to France, where he adopted his pseudonym, which is derived from the Russian word for pencil, "karandash."

The piece "Le General Murat A Cheval" exemplifies Caran d'Ache's talent for combining humor with historical and military themes. Joachim Murat, the subject of this work, was a Marshal of France and one of Napoleon Bonaparte's most flamboyant and daring cavalry commanders. Known for his extravagant uniforms and fearless demeanor, Murat became a symbol of Napoleonic military prowess and romanticism.

Caran d'Ache's depiction of General Murat is both a tribute and a satire, capturing the grandeur and absurdity of the Napoleonic era. The artwork typically features Murat mounted on a horse, resplendent in his ornate military regalia. Through exaggerated features and meticulous attention to detail, Caran d'Ache brings out the larger-than-life persona of Murat, while also subtly critiquing the excesses and vanities of military leaders.

This work is part of Caran d'Ache's broader oeuvre, which often focused on historical and military subjects, rendered with a keen eye for irony and social commentary. His illustrations were widely published in popular periodicals of the time, contributing significantly to the visual culture of the Belle Époque. "Le General Murat A Cheval" remains a testament to Caran d'Ache's enduring legacy as a master caricaturist and a keen observer of human nature.
