Bijzondere tijgerschimmel met gezicht op Delft 1745

Johann Elias Ridinger's "Bijzondere tijgerschimmel met gezicht op Delft" (1745) depicts a spotted horse, a "tiger-colored" dappled grey, standing in a field. The horse is depicted from a side angle with its head turned to the right, looking towards Delft in the background. Ridinger is known for his detailed and lifelike animal depictions, including his famous horse engravings. This print is a prime example of his meticulous style, showcasing the horse's musculature and markings with precision, and capturing the animal's natural grace and elegance. The scene is framed by a lush, verdant landscape, adding to the overall beauty and serenity of the composition. This engraving is a testament to Ridinger's skill as an artist and his deep understanding of animal anatomy.
