Description

A tinted lithograph (in two tones of yellow and white) on a large sheet of heavy, white wove paper within a narrow black border: a bay horse, standing in profile, facing left. There is a brand mark on the horse's left flank. A background desert landscape and the walls of a town with minaret and mosque seen across a river at centre left. Part of a walled hut is seen in the foreground at the far right. A tint-block of pale yellow is applied generally, with a slightly darker yellow tone added across the body of the horse and for the background details in the lower third of the image, with white added to the lower part of the horse's hind legs. The yellow tint has been blocked out in a few areas at lower centre to indicate patches of sunlight or paler sand. The title, presumably the name of the horse, followed by a description of its colouration, is given in German and French in the margin below the image at lower centre: 'ACHWERDOW. / Goldbraun. \ Bai doré. [golden bay]'. The artist's details below the image at lower left: 'Nach d. Leben gez. v. Rud. Kuntz.'. The printmaker's details below the image at lower right: 'Lithogr.v.L.Ekeman Alleson'. The publisher's stamp, a small lozenge-shaped blind stamp above the title at lower centre: 'EBNER'. Watermark: 'H. OSER. IN. BASEL'.
