About the Item
Title: Antique Horse Portrait Etching – Signed Original German Etching
A finely executed antique etching of a horse’s head in profile, signed by the artist at lower right and marked “Orig. Radierung” at lower left, indicating it is an original etching in German. The horse is portrayed with remarkable anatomical accuracy, showing the powerful neck, finely modeled features, and alert yet composed expression. The detailed rendering of the bridle, combined with subtle cross-hatched shading in the background, creates depth and texture while focusing the viewer’s attention on the animal’s noble character.
The artist’s skill is evident in the delicate tonal transitions and the realistic depiction of the horse’s coat and musculature. Works of this type were often commissioned to commemorate prized animals, whether racehorses, workhorses, or breeding stock, making them treasured keepsakes for horse owners and enthusiasts. While the exact date of creation is not stated, the style and presentation suggest an early to mid-20th-century origin from Germany or a German-speaking region.
The composition, with the horse’s head slightly angled and framed against a simple textured background, has a timeless quality and would appeal to collectors of equestrian art, vintage sporting subjects, or animal portraiture. Its understated elegance makes it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Condition:
Very good overall condition. Light age toning to the paper, with a faint crescent-shaped stain in the upper left margin and a small spot near the lower margin. Plate mark visible. Image area remains clean and sharply printed.
