Merrie Primrose en haar veulen, raspaard van de hertog van Grafton 1825 - 1827

"Merrie Primrose en haar veulen, raspaard van de hertog van Grafton" is a lithograph by Belgian artist Victor Adam (1801-1866), created between 1825 and 1827. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a mare named Primrose, a dappled grey thoroughbred belonging to the Duke of Grafton, standing next to her brown foal in a stable. The print captures the intimate moment between mother and offspring, a scene likely appealing to a wide audience, especially those interested in horses and equestrianism. The detailed rendering of the horses, along with the accurate depiction of the stable environment, demonstrates Adam's skilled mastery of lithographic technique.
