"A Mounted Chasseur of the Imperial Guard" is a painting by the French artist Jean Baptiste Édouard Detaille, created in 1875. Detaille, renowned for his military subjects, was a protégé of the famous painter Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier and became one of the most celebrated military artists of his time. His work is characterized by its meticulous detail and historical accuracy, often depicting scenes from the Napoleonic Wars.

This particular painting captures a member of the Chasseurs à Cheval de la Garde Impériale, an elite light cavalry unit that was part of Napoleon Bonaparte's Imperial Guard. The Chasseurs were known for their bravery, military prowess, and the distinctive uniforms that Detaille has rendered with great precision and care in this work. The painting shows the chasseur mounted on a horse, dressed in the full regalia of the Imperial Guard, which includes a pelisse (a short fur-edged jacket) over the left shoulder, a shako (a tall, cylindrical military cap), and tight-fitting breeches.

Detaille's attention to detail extends to the horse's tack and the landscape background, which, while subdued, provides a context for the figure and hints at the broader military campaigns in which the chasseur might have participated. The artist's skill in capturing the textures of fabric and the sheen of metal, as well as the anatomy of the horse, is evident and contributes to the painting's realism.

"A Mounted Chasseur of the Imperial Guard" is not only a fine example of Detaille's artistry but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the military fashions and romanticism of the Napoleonic era. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the genre of military art and continues to be studied for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of a bygone era of military history.
