Slg./Coll.: Dr. R. Arnim Winkler, Berlin, 1904-1989

Interesting image from one of Géricault's most important series, the "Etudes de Chevaux" (D. 80-92), executed in 1822 and consisting of 1 title and 12 plates representing horses. Of these 12 plates, 6 subjects (D. 81, 83, 84, 85, 87 and 91) are inverted mirror images from the famous "Série Anglaise" (D. 29-41) which was published in 1821.

The present lithograph, executed by Léon Cogniet, is the inverted mirror image of D. 39, "The English Farrier" (1821), however without the figure of the second blacksmith, and with a slightly different background.

Beautiful and strong impression. Some foxing in the wide margins.
