About this sheet
Set of Three Hand-Colored 18th Century Equestrian Engravings A decorative set of three antique hand-colored equestrian engravings showing riders on horseback in refined classical manège poses. The plates are titled Le Bijoux, Le Parfait, and Le Gendarme, each presenting a formally dressed rider guiding a horse in an elegant riding-school movement.
These engravings belong to the early 18th-century European equestrian tradition associated with Friedrich Wilhelm Baron d’Eisenberg’s celebrated work on classical horsemanship and riding-school technique. The prints combine detailed engraving with attractive original or later hand coloring, giving the set a warm and decorative character.
The riders’ costumes, saddlery, horses, and controlled movements make the set especially appealing for an equestrian interior, library, country house, study, tack room, club room, or traditional gallery wall. The aged paper, hand coloring, and visible signs of age contribute to their authentic antique appearance.
Included plates: Le Bijoux, plate XXI Le Parfait, plate XXXV Le Gendarme, plate XVI
Condition: Fair antique condition. General age-related toning, foxing, staining, surface dirt, handling marks, creases, small paper imperfections, and irregular sheet edges.
