Fahrendes Volk mit Reiter bei der Rast (Nachfolger)

Querquer employs a pronounced impasto, allowing brushstrokes to remain visible and lending a tactile quality to the scene. The palette leans toward muted earth tones, punctuated by the vivid orange dress and the horse’s white coat. This handling aligns with Rococo sensibilities yet retains a vigorous, almost unfinished vigor characteristic of his military and genre subjects.

Trained initially by his father and later under the influence of Johann Georg von Rugendas, Querquer specialized in depictions of soldiers, hunts, and travel. The painting entered the collection of the Alte Pinakothek, where it remains part of the museum’s holdings of mid‑Rococo Germanic works.
