About the Item
Antique Mecklenburg Horse Portrait 1898, German Warmblood Equestrian Wall Art
This original antique colour lithograph from 1898 depicts No. 40. Le Cheval du Meklembourg, the Mecklenburg horse, one of northern Germany’s established warmblood breeds. Valued for its strength, soundness, and reliable temperament, the Mecklenburg horse was widely used in agriculture, carriage work, and regional breeding programs in the late nineteenth century. The horse is presented in a calm, formal side-on portrait within a stable interior, emphasizing muscular build, balance, and practical elegance.
Note: The work is offered unframed, enabling custom framing to personal or interior preferences.
This sheet forms part of the distinguished Belgian equestrian series L’Espèce Chevaline à Travers le Monde. The series was issued as a deluxe loose-leaf publication rather than a bound book and consisted of 40 colour plates in total. Only 150 complete sets were produced, intended for breeders, collectors, and official equestrian institutions, making individual plates scarce and increasingly sought after.
The lithograph was executed after a painting by Otto Eerelman, one of the leading European horse painters of the late nineteenth century. Eerelman was admired for his anatomical accuracy and restrained, dignified portrayal of horses, focusing on breed characteristics and ideal conformation rather than narrative scenes. His work provides an important visual record of Europe’s principal horse breeds at the height of classical breeding culture.
On the reverse of the sheet is an original printed note reading: Espèce Chevaline. Ouvrage contenant 40 planches en couleurs. Édition de la Librairie Néerlandaise à Anvers. This verso inscription provides contemporary confirmation of the series title, the complete set of plates, and the Antwerp publisher.
Issued as a finished loose sheet and intended for framing from the outset, this lithograph appeals both to collectors of equestrian and sporting art and to interior designers seeking refined, timeless horse imagery. The sober stable setting and warm colour palette make it particularly suitable for country houses, libraries, studies, or elegant modern interiors.
This is an original nineteenth-century lithograph, not a reproduction or later print.
Condition report:
Good condition. Light, even age-related toning and scattered foxing consistent with age. Colours remain warm and well preserved. No folds or hard creases observed. Minor edge wear only.
Framing suggestions:
Ideal for a dark walnut or ebonized wood frame with a generous off-white or soft ivory mat. A wide mat enhances the formal presentation and gives the work a calm, museum-quality presence.
