Description

A tinted lithograph (in two tones of yellow) on a large sheet of heavy, white wove paper within a narrow black border: a bay horse, standing in profile, facing left. A background desert landscape with a river, fishermen and the masts of a boat at the far left and a fort with palm trees along a road at the centre. 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 distant mountains indicated by this darker yellow tint block alone. The tint has been blocked out in an area at lower centre to indicate a patch 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: 'CHERAKY. / 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'.
