Part of a luxurious portfolio comprising 41 lithographed plates, this particular print draws from the masterful paintings of Otto Eerelman, an artist celebrated for his dynamic and detailed depictions of horses. The Hackney Horse print is produced on a heavy textured paper that provides the feel and visual impact of a hand-painted canvas, thereby enhancing the viewer's experience of the artwork. with the dimensions of the sheet and image both being 59 x 44.5 cm, it stands as a significant work, intended for the discerning collector or to be displayed as a centerpiece in sophisticated settings. Issued by Schillemans & Van Belkum out of Zutphen, the Netherlands, the publication of "Paardenrassen Kunstalbum" began in the late 19th century and was distributed in segments to a clientele appreciative of equine beauty and artistic craftsmanship. The lithographs within this rare and opulent collection were produced by J.L. Goffart, a distinguished Belgian lithographer whose technique captured the nuance and vitality of Eerelman’s original art. Eerelman, born in Groningen in 1839, initially painted historic scenes but gained substantial acclaim for his animal portraits later in life, especially those of horses, which brought him commissions from the Dutch Royal Family and other notable patrons.
