Description

A tinted lithograph (in pale yellow and white) on a large sheet of heavy, white wove paper within a narrow black border: a white horse, standing in profile, facing right, its head held high and tail erect, its right foreleg and left hindleg lifted off the ground in movement. A desert scene in the background, with a river and walled town with minaret seen at centre right. A tint-block of pale yellow is applied generally with a white tint block overlaid across the horse's body. 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: 'HASFOURA. / Silber-Schimmel. \ Gris-argenté. [silver grey]'. 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'.
