Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Equestrian Portrait of Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignano is a 1634 painting by Anthony van Dyck, now in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin. It shows Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignano on a prancing horse, as an allegory of his holding the reins of command even in difficult moments.[1] He is shown wearing the insignia and red sash of the Supreme Order of the Most Holy Annunciation, conferred on him in 1616 by his father Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy.[2] In 1742 the work was sold to the King of Sardinia.[3]
