"Fauconnier à Cheval," also known as "The Cavalryman" or "Horseman on a Red Horse," is a painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Henri Julien Rousseau, commonly known as Henri Rousseau. Created in 1891, this work is one of the early examples of Rousseau's foray into the world of high art, marking his transition from his duties as a toll collector to becoming a self-taught painter whose works would eventually be associated with the Naïve or Primitive manner.

The painting depicts a solitary figure of a cavalryman, dressed in a vibrant red uniform, mounted on a horse against a simplified landscape. The scene is characterized by Rousseau's distinctive style, which includes a flatness of form, a lack of conventional perspective, and vivid, unmodulated colors. These elements combine to create a dreamlike atmosphere that would become a hallmark of Rousseau's oeuvre.

Rousseau's work was often met with ridicule during his lifetime, as critics and the public struggled to understand his unconventional techniques and his disregard for academic norms. However, his unique artistic vision and the innocence and charm of his work eventually earned him the admiration of avant-garde artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky, who recognized the emotional and aesthetic power of his paintings.

"Fauconnier à Cheval" is an important piece within Rousseau's body of work, as it showcases the early development of themes and motifs that he would explore throughout his career. The painting is a testament to Rousseau's imaginative capabilities and his ability to evoke a sense of wonder and narrative through his art. As with many of Rousseau's paintings, this work is celebrated for its directness and its ability to connect with viewers on an intuitive level, transcending the traditional boundaries of artistic sophistication.

Today, "Fauconnier à Cheval" is recognized as a significant work in the history of modern art, representing the emergence of an artist who would go on to influence future generations of painters with his singular approach to depicting the world around him. The painting can be found in the collection of the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
