From the Greatestof the Augsburg Dressages + SchoolsRugendas I, Georg Philipp (1666 Augsburg 1742). The Gallop. Young horse in full gallop at the longe. Not least thanks to threatening chambrière. Embedded in and before further actions. Mezzotint. Inscribed: Georg Philipp Rugendas Pict. invent. del. fec. et exc. Aug. Vind. otherwise as below. 49 x 67.3 cm. Teuscher 125 + ills.; Stillfried 362. – Leaf 8 of the 12-sheet (or 3 à 4 sheets resp.) Horse Dressage T. 118-129. – Not in Nagler. – With subtext in Latin + German: Acer equus juvenis per plana, per aspera callis
Here the young horse learns galloping in due style, Deviations against Teuscher supposed as slips in quoting due to deadline pressure there: In the third German line here a “u(nd).” dissolved by top dash + “als dann” instead of “u.” + “alsdann” there. With surrounding margins of 1,5-2.4 cm. – Of fine general impression determined by bright chiaroscuro as especially remarkable for mezzotints as their plate – so the contemporary expert Sandrart – allows just 50-60 really good impressions. – The left platemark squeezed through and backed. Smoothened creasing not noticeable from the front. Likewise not closed box pleat in the lower left field, already outside of the scenery. Far lower right missing spot disposed of by strengthening and retouching. Extremely rare, the leaves of this set are missing, i. a., within the c. 27,600 lots of Weigel’s Art Stock Catalogue, parts I-XXVIII, 1838-1857, the Bibliotheca Hippologica I. H. Anderhub with rarities like Ridinger’s Riding School in imperial oblong dissolved in 1963, and the Sarasin Collection (1999). The copy here after decades in the generous ambience on the wall of a connoisseur now on the market again for the first time . Who conceded the wonderful leaves of this set with their marvellous horses the place which already a hundred years ago Wilhelm Schmidt summing up in the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie assigned to Rugendas:
