Bierdstadt and couple more horses

 Salvete Omnes


 

long time ago - in terms of internet I guess - I posted some marvelous work by Albert Bierdstadt.
I saw this painting on Christie's website - Horse in an Indian Encampment. Painted during the 1860s - date unclear

there are another interesting aspects to be observed in this painting - a full Jenifer saddle? unusual curb-bit?

 






and another horse from his atelier - presumably an American bred Thoroughbred
