Antique Carved Stone Intaglio – Horse and Rider in Motion Dimensions: 2.8 x 1.5 cm
This delightful antique intaglio, carved from warm orange-toned stone, features a dynamic and playful scene of a horse in motion beside a spirited rider or attendant. The figure is depicted mid-stride, with animated posture and expressive detailing, possibly holding reins or a curved tool — lending the piece a sense of narrative and energy.
Executed in a charmingly stylized manner, the engraving reflects both skill and whimsy, and was likely crafted in the 19th century, during the height of interest in classical, pastoral, and theatrical subjects.
