About the Item

Mambrino – Antique Thoroughbred Horse Portrait, Chalon & Hullmandel c.1840 A beautiful nineteenth-century sporting lithograph depicting the celebrated horse Mambrino, portrayed in an elegant landscape setting. The horse stands proudly in profile, displaying the graceful proportions, powerful musculature, and refined features that made thoroughbred and saddle horses among the most admired subjects of British sporting art. The artist's careful attention to anatomy and movement results in a portrait that is both scientifically observant and aesthetically striking. This print was drawn on stone by H.B. Chalon and lithographed by G. Scharf, before being printed by the renowned London lithographer Charles Hullmandel. Hullmandel's workshop was among the most influential printing establishments of the nineteenth century and played a crucial role in the development of artistic lithography in Britain. The collaboration between accomplished sporting artists and master printers such as Hullmandel produced some of the finest equestrian prints of the period. The horse is identified as Mambrino, a name associated with several distinguished bloodlines that influenced British and American horse breeding during the nineteenth century. Named horse portraits were highly sought after by owners, breeders, and sporting enthusiasts, serving as both commemorative records and decorative works of art. The image captures the idealized elegance and noble bearing that characterized the era's finest equine portraiture. Unlike crowded racing scenes, this composition focuses entirely on the horse itself, allowing viewers to appreciate the animal's conformation and beauty. The softly rendered landscape background provides depth without distracting from the principal subject. Such prints were frequently displayed in country houses, libraries, stables, and gentlemen's sporting rooms, where they celebrated achievements in breeding, racing, and horsemanship. Today, original sporting lithographs of named horses remain highly desirable among collectors of equestrian art, racing memorabilia, and nineteenth-century British prints. The timeless elegance of the composition also makes it an excellent decorative piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Condition: Age-related toning and occasional light foxing. Minor creasing and handling marks, with some small edge tears and losses confined to the margins. The image itself remains strong, clean, and visually appealing. Please examine the photographs carefully. Framing tips: This print displays exceptionally well in a dark walnut, ebonized, or traditional mahogany frame with a warm ivory mat. A narrow gilt liner can subtly enhance the tonal richness of the lithograph while preserving its refined sporting character. Ideal for libraries, studies, country homes, and equestrian interiors. Technique: Lithograph Maker: H.B. Chalon (England), lithographed by G. Scharf and printed by Charles Hullmandel, London, circa 1840.
