Framed Mid-18th Century Bernard Picart Horse Engraving – Le Turc
This hand-painted mid-18th century engraving by Bernard Picart, titled Le Turc, is a captivating portrayal of a gray horse in motion, set against a serene backdrop of a castle and waterway. Marked Le Turc in the upper right corner.
Bernard Picart (1673–1733), a French draughtsman and engraver based in Amsterdam, was celebrated for his keen interest in capturing cultural and religious habits through his art. His works are prized for their intricate linework, rich detail, and historical significance, offering a unique perspective on life during the Enlightenment era.
The engraving is professionally framed in a gold-toned wooden frame with a charmingly worn patina that complements the artwork’s historic character. Measuring approximately 14 x 17.25 inches (10 x 13.75 inches for the artwork itself), the piece shows some wear to the frame, enhancing its antique appeal.
This rare engraving is an exquisite addition to any collection, embodying the elegance of 18th-century equestrian art and the enduring legacy of Bernard Picart’s craft.
