19th Century Hand-Colored Lithograph - "Bergère" from Journal des Haras
This hand-colored lithograph titled "Bergère" is from the French publication *Journal des Haras, des Chasses et des Courses de Chevaux* (Journal of Studs, Hunts, and Horse Racing), 3rd year, No. 13.
It features an elegant horse named Bergère, depicted with great anatomical detail, being tended to by a groom. The groom is dressed in riding attire, emphasizing the theme of equestrian care.
A second rider is seen in the background. The lithograph is attributed to Lemercier, a well-known French lithographic printing house, renowned for producing high-quality equestrian art in the 19th century.
The print remains in good condition, with vivid colors and minimal aging, characteristic of carefully preserved lithographs from this era.
